Would you like this car to be a daily driver? What intentions do you have for the car? Is reliability and or fuel economy an issue? What kind of times are you trying to run?
The answers to these questions will help determine which setup will be better for you.

Re: (eg:R)
If you want it to be a daily driver, I was say go with K-series. A fully built turbo GSR will be faster, but it will not be near as reliable...I'm sure several will argue that but the point being is that you can run mid 12's on slicks with a completely stock K20a motor and retain OEM reliabilty. Not to mention get almost 40 miles per gallon while doing so.

Re: (Tomdz32)
An RSX Type-S motor can be found for about $3600 to $4000 depending on mileage and condition. Using a Type-S motor you will need either a JDM RSX ecu or have your USDM ecu converted into a K-pro. Including a K-pro look for the total swap to cost in the $8,000 range doing the labor yourself. Depending on what chassis you are installing the motor into you can be running 12.8's with this setup.
