Default ls boost or type r built

If you had both motors, which would you rather do and why. Boost the ls, or build the type r? I have the chance to get a type r motor, or should I just boost my ls?... so confused

Integras are heavy. Boost the LS and you may compete with dumbestics.

You will end with about the same HP depending on what you do to the Type R motor. But $$$ wise I would Turbo the LS motor. Type R motor's are pricey.

boosting your existing motor would mean just buying parts and tuning, where as the type R would mean buying that expensive **** motor, then buying parts on top of it.... and to get as fast as your boosted LS you'd have to do a LOT of engine work. sick compression and machining would def. be necessary.

boost the bitch.

I understand that the type r motor is expensive, but that would be a problem becuse I know some one who brings engines over from japan. He's a close friend of my dad, n he said he could get me one for cheap. Im not really worried about the cost of the motor. If i do boost my ls, once people see the front mount, everyone knows that im boostin. But the beauty about a type would be that no one would know what I got under the hood. Do yall hear were im commin from?

spray intercooler black, don't vent BOV into atmosphere. There are plenty of ways to keep it a sleeper.

One of the best parts about turbo is the psfffffffftttttt. lol. Another thing, if i boost my ls, the only people who going to want to run me are other boosted cars. If a all motor car wants 2 run, den dey must have dey must be pushin somethin serious. If im boostin, and I loose to an all motor car, i would be pissed
