1800 gsr or D15B turbo-charged

[Darkevil]

hey guys, i'm from the caribbean. i've been look around the site and i think it's a very good site. i have a JMD spec. 1994 honda civic vti. i'm thinkin i would like to get the JDM 1800cc GSR to swap in the car but i like the idea of turbo-chargin the D15B. i was all set on GSR but the idea of changin D15B just still got me.... as i read your post on the site i see you guys give good advise and i was hopin you could help me...

if i go with the GSR it would be the standard engine with hotwire, MSD SCI, exhaust manifold, metal head gasket, throttle body from a Toyota 4AGE 20 value, FPR & cold air along with the toda flywheel kit.

if i go with D15B it would be forged pistons & rods, flywheel, MSD SCI, FPR, front mount intercooler and a T-26 turbo are some of the things i would put on engine along with the Hondata ECU.

my question is, which way would you go?
thz for your help...

personally, i have a gsr motor in my eg. I have all the basic bolt ons, exhaust, headers, intake. I ran a 14.60 at the Bandimere track here in Colorado where oxygen is a problem. Anyways, I'd say go thru the gsr route. D15b goes only so much, and even the d16z6 has more balls than the d15 in my opinion. Seiously, the gsr motor is a whole new personality, even without the turbo. And besides, when you come up with more money after the gsr swap, the GSR has way more potential in turbo-charging than the SOHC d15. And would it make you feel good if I say I beat a turbo cahrged d16z6 hatchback.

Go with the B18C1. It's popular for a reason. A very reliable motor and prime for boost. Look into turbo'ing a B18C1.
