Default Turbo4 car question

Why are there so few Integra’s in turbo4? Early this year I was told a motor swap was considered a power adder so a gsr would be able to run boost and nitrous while the swapped civics would be limited to a swap and boost or nitrous. I know I must be missing something so please give me some input.

BTW the point of this post is I am trying to decide between getting a 92-95 civic HB or a 94-00 GSR.

alot of people are making huge power without needing nitrous.. so why go with the heavier car?

I figured weight was one problem but is that all? I know you can get an eg down to the minimum race weight and I would think you could get a gsr very close. I know there are a few in turbo4 that run Integra’s care to share what the car weighs in at?

Mat Keller USED to run Nitrous last year, this year turbo only been more consistent and less breaks and has gone faster too. Turbo only is good enough
