what does "best" mean?

Best cost efficiency?
Best power output?
Best revability?

etc.

o man ur gonna get hated on this forum. please search. you have to figure out....
how much power you want...
when you want turbo to kick in....
do you ever want to upgrade internals to get more power....
ems....
differnece between manifolds.....
compression, octane, turbo specs.

search through peoples dyno results and see how they like it, how much power they get, and when the turbo spools. lol then you can decide which is "the best" to turbo. If your upgrading internals you can build any motor to support any hp./

o well the easiest way is to get a car with a b series motor in it. theres nothign wrong with the d series but you wreally have to modify the internals to make some decent reliable power. my advice would be to get an integra. gsr would be nice but for turbo the ls will do just fine. or if your strapped for cash maybe an old crx with a b16 (leight weight)
