Broader power band and less weight. They should still lose but it's not as bad as the numbers sound. The VTi-R gearing is not so good.
LS arnt that slow, plus i rekn they bit lighter then the vtir's. thats probably y u beat ur mate up the hill
last couple of pages here outlines whats needed:

Parts List all sourceable from eBay (exc. Head which you can get here in FS)
- Golden Eagle VTEC kit
- Dowel pins (different size on each end so no tapping/drilling of head/block)
- vtec ecu+harness or use current ecu + solenoid actuator
- ARP/GE Rod Bolts
but um.. the CR is gonna be shit on the the stock B18a/b... you'd want at least the p30 pistons.
this totally isn't worth it unless you have B16a to begin with and your sourcing the block.. not the other way around.. just my opinion.
0.4mm head gasket will give you +~0.3CR and flat face valves will give you +~0.3-0.5CR
think about it, any performance gain you think you would have gotten from the 2nd lobe of vtec is lost through lack of static CR of only 9.6/9.8:1CR

no way a da9 will beat a dc2 up hill. I use to have a da9 there is no comparison.
Thescotty- I was in your position 6 months ago. I ended up working hard at the same time as studying full time (not recommended) and saved hard and got a dc2r. Best decision i have made
yeh cheers man, i do agree im studying fulltime and trying to earn a living whilst save (worst thing someone could do) but you gotta do it, in the end ill probz end up buying something even better...but i want it now! :)
i feel your pain with uni full time and never earning enough money!!!
its shit house
also for ecu and loom you can use the same loom if you stay with OBD0. Although you have to add a few lines for the vtec. I believe you have to use a different ecu.
Vtec solenoid, oil pressure switch, knock sensor and 2nd o2 sensor from memory (from converting my old LS)
EDIT: actually is your using your LS block then you wont have a knock sensor or 2nd o2 sensor
you're better off with an aftermarket ecu and tune which adds to the price yet again
