Default What would be faster?

I've got a Integra LS that I plan on turbocharging next summer. Everything else is done on it, except for the turbo.

My friend has been talking to me about selling my car, and buying a 240SX, and swapping in the Silvia motor.

My question is, what would be a better idea? Which would be faster?

the stock silvia motor would be slow. Youd have to upgrade the turbo and do all kinds of things to make it decent.

I've heard of 240s with sr20det swaps running 13s with the stock boost and turbo. You'll notice that I said heard. I have never talked to or seen anybody who has one. It seems like every time you here of one that is very fast in "stock" form it is always someone's buddies car. Never theirs.

I'd turbo your teg. Especially if it is a daliy driver. Sometimes motor swaps can be a little less reliable.

it will be about 100 times easier for u to turbo your LS then to sell it, find a nice 240, import a silivia motor, and do a bad *** turbo on it.. plus the silvia thing u will spend way way more money
