Which swap?
Ok so heres the deal. I have a 93 civic dx coupe and in the very near future I am going to swap out the motor, I want to put in a B18B w/ a turbo, would this be a good route to go? Or should I just bite my lip save up and buy a gsr motor with no turbo? I just dont know which I should go with but I do like the idea of a turbo. Any help would be awesome!

It all really depends on what you want out of your car...
Just remember...When you buy a turbo, theres a nice amount of maintance that comes with it so...if your on a budget and just want a nice daily driver to have fun with...I say get the Gsr and then turbo it later on if you really want that boost..
Don't get me wrong though, the Ls Turbo is a great idea too....

B18C for anything... Build NA or for boost and you'll have lots of fun... My friend's daily driven B18C EK made 430whp on 17lbs a week and a half a go... Ran a 12.3@125 letting off at 9000rpm in 4th and coasting through the traps... Other friend 506whp on 22lbs... All 2.0L GSR's... I personally hate H22's but that's just me... Good Luck

That is the way I was thinking.
