swap motor or boost what i got???
hey guys...i have a low mileage B16A2 block, with a low mileage gsr head on it...i know, its a funny hybrid but its what i got...
now should i drop 1200 bucks or whatever on a low (7) psi turbo or should i swap the block to a gsr and then have no money left???
it seems like both routes cost the same amount...which will i be more pleased with??
by the way, my goals are just to have a fast and dependable car that can maybe run 13's on the weekends...
on this next question, i know you guys will say search, but with my funny hybrid i dont know which is best...
if the turbo is the way to go, then which should i choose with this setup that will be relatively inexpensive but VERY RELIABLE...i dont mind spending a little more to get more reliability...thanks for the help guys

Re: (keebler65)
well you know, not exactly 1200 bucks, but i mean i think swapping the block and slapping on a turbo would be roughly close in price???
correct me if im wrong please....
also, this is in a 98 GSR...
if i swap the block i would probably just swap in like a bigger B20 block and then buildup NA...
what to do...what to do...

Re: (rewsnaeht)
mot easy for $1200 but it can be done. your fine with the b16 block the gains would be 1/10th of the power youd get from turbo. just so you know manufactors kits like drag and revhard around $2,500-$3,000 for a basic kit.

Re: (94dxt)
I hope I get some points taken off for saying this but.....
DO YOU PEOPLE SMOKE CRACK!!!!!
Keep the B16 Block & boost that ****!
what kind of gains are you expecting from .2 liters
Yes it's a given that the GSR bottom end is stronger and is going to give you more torque but not $1200 worth IMO.
your motor setup should easily make 300WHP with a decent kit.
