I can't really afford a full gsr turbo motor in an eg (unless I hit the lotto ) but I found another similar setup for a crx 88-91 model year how's this setup
complete b16a swap minus block
B18a block resleeved (stock bore)
gsr girdle kit
je or endyn 9:1 pistons
eagle rods
new bearings

ported and polished b16a head w/ ferrera valvetrain componants
gsr cams
jg intake manifold and throttle body
4.40 final drive in the tranny (if it doesn't come with one)
tuned with hondata of course
custom turbo kit including 60-1 turbocharger
what do ya'll think? any suggestions welcome

If you're going to spend the money on resleeving an LS block why not go at least 84mm ? It's not like the pistons will cost you any more. Plus you're doing headwork already so if you feel like opening the CC up to match the bore it's not really much of an added expense.

I guess I just don't see any reason to resleeve and stay at stock bore.

not an expert on trannys but that final gear ratio seems a bit high. your first gear will be short as the ****. (i am saying this but i dont even know what the stock ratio is)

I wouldn't call that a budget set up at all. Looks good to me.
