your preference and price range really

if you want a D series until you hit VTAAKK..then get a b16...*my opinion*

if you want more torque and don't mind your pocket book being a lil short then you can't beat a boosted GSR..

B18 all the way

and for future reference i don't think you can do this kinda thing...poll questions...i did it and got Flamed...OoOOo not like i care tho...

if you have the cash go for the B18c more displacment and torque is allways better.

yeah but he said he wants to boost it. and even though people boost Rs all the time, i personally would rather go with a B16A turbo or B18C (GSR) turbo because the compression in a JDM R is kind of too high for boost, for my tastes at least.

and because the GSR and B16As are cheaper.
