300WHP &gt; 180WHP

Because you'll be laughing your *** off that the fool that spent 5Kon the ITR swap when you pass him like he hit the brakes! If you want a fast street Civic, it needs to be boosted!

Choice 2 hands down, but don't forget to build the internals a little, although it's not absolutely necessary.

man come on post this kind of thread in general discussion next time, this topic question is so played out...

1.C. Posting general modification threads in EG+ Civic / Del Sol is not allowed. This includes threads like “What should I do to my car next?” or “I have $$$ what should I buy?” Please do a search, as there are many threads on the subject that exist in the archives.

but if i had to say, i would pick #2 because turbo will make more power and its more fun...

It depends on if you want to make it a daily driver or a race car. If i personally had the money i would use the type-r for daily driving purposes. If you just wanted to go to the track then the turbo would be my pick. You can only go so fast on the street. Plus if you build the turbo you will have to do a lot to make the motor strong enough to hold boost. Either way you do it, just dont tell everybody about it. When people get flashy with their cars, cars get stolen.

So what are you going to be doing with the car? Is this just a street car that you'll take to the drag strip once in a while or is it a car that's going to see many seasons of road racing and autocross?
