not sure if this should be here or not but...

i have an LS integra with a JDM Type-R motor in it, i wanna build the motor for boost...my question is should I:

1) should i tear down the R motor and build it low compression or

2) pull the motor and trans out and sell it to buy a GSR and fully build the GSR motor for low compression

im looking for mid to low 11s but still streetable as it is still my daily driver for now...thanks

 

#1
#2 don't make any sense

 

but isnt the value of the type r motor mostly in the fact its such high compression

 

well, you gonna build it anyway.
gsr compression ratio is 10 and the type r is 10.6
not much difference

 

oh my bad.
your is jdm type r.
is like 11.1 ish

 

my theory behind buying a gsr is the fact that a type r motor is worth much more than a gsr motor, so why take a motor that is worth so much and tear it apart when i can sell it and basically buy a gsr swap and pay for my build for what i sell the R motor for

 

you can try that but buying a gsr motor off the street isn't a good idea. most of them r beat to shiet

 

its getting fully built a sleeved anyway

 

my other option i am now considering is a k24/k20 swap

 

if you have the cash. go for it.
im getting a skyline r34 someday

 

i say k sawp

 

im deff leaning more towards the K for sure
