alright, right now i have a 97 Civic sedan with a ITR swap. the swap is very nice, pretty quick and reliable. it is pretty much stock except for Mugen header, Password J's knock off intake, high flow cat and RS*R exhaust. i have been seriously thinking about pulling the ITR out and selling it to do LS turbo in my car, which i know will be faster. the question is, am i going to be disappointed in doing this? am i going to have problems everytime i drive it?

i want to run 10 lbs. on stock LS internals. i want reliability, will this give me that? i know all motor is more reliable but i want to know is this going to last me years? i also want the feel of a boosted car, i have the bug. i just cant make up my mind, i know it is up to me and everyone will say that, but i want everyones opinion. what would you do. i feel like i am going to be downgrading.

here is the car....................pictures of my EJ6 Sedan

 

boost is better

 

i just got rid of my ls turbo, cause i spun a bearing, i have a jdm type r and i like it better than my ls, the ls cams dont make power past 6.4k so if u have a big turbo the power band is over too fast. It would be better to keep ur R and rebuild that it has way more potential and u can make over 300whp on 10-12 lbs.

 

I'd go with the itr head on the ls block and turbo that *****

 

i agree with that one, ITR head and ls block.

What makes you think this? With proper tunning all motor and FI they are equally reliable. Granted i am not talking about a b18c1 with a few bolt-ons as all motor.

i definitely dont want to do that. if i pull the ITR out, i am either selling it or keeping it whole.

well lets see, there is no boost going to the block in an all motor car, that to me says all motor will be more reliable. i realize with proper tuning you can have some good stuff, and thats my question. if i have a LS turbo setup with a good tune will it be just as reliable, last as long as my all motor ITR setup?
