well between the two engines that the OP listed, i would say the GSR only because of the lower compression. But the ITR could put out the same amount of hp with lower boost, only problem is tuning is a bit more difficult with higher compression.

what engine do you have now?

I like the idea of a boosted gsr engine, just because i like the idea of vtec, and out of boost driving wouldnt be so boring...
but an ls and gsr engine could put out about the same power... it just depends on how much power you want.

i have dificulty in english man i just said the type r will be the best for sure but i will take moore time to talk about what i think its evry time a question of money...

its possible to boost an ls/vtec like its possible to boost a type R but to make the engine safe this motor need to be low comp

but the gsr with stock inside will be good too with nice whp...

psi doesnt mean jack ****. power and excessive heat is what will break ****. keep the power to a reasonable number with a good tune and you'll be safe.
