so i gotta 97 ek coupe, and that bitch has came a long way since i first bought it a lil over 2 years ago. it used to sit on bags (cylinders), on black painted 17s, interior abused and spray painted yellow, a stupid ricer kit front bumper and side skirts, flamed out hood and doors, euro tailights etc.....i gave her a lot of TLC and she looks better but not done. im currently running a d16y8 that does the job for now.

im not much for straight line speed, i like takin turns at 55-70 mph thats why i dont wanna k or h series cause ill be a lil front heavy.

the question is.....what should i do. should i sohc turbo, gsr, or turbo gsr? the reason is cause i can find a sohc turbo set up for about 500-650, gsr for 200 w/warrenty or gsr turbo used. what would you recommend or do?

what about all motor ls/vtec?

gsr with warranty for $200????
is it a short block?

i would go with the turbo. you can put out 230whp on stock internals.
but you should upgrade internals so you can put more and take turns with more fun!

boost the y8, u can make more hp than a gsr or ITR

Unseen Racer

thats until the owner of a GSR boosts. then he will spank you NASTY!
but you dont really see many boosted GSRs

++for boost. Iv had my sohc that way for years now. Will never look at another engine im just building another d for more boost.

batallic

by the end of that he would have spent a ton more of money

i meant to say 2000 for the gsr
