Default my first car / project (EG)

i picked this up a couple weeks back for $1300. 1992 Honda Civic Si hatchback. its my first car and its exactly what i wanted after seeing all the EG pics on HT i know i need to fix it up a bit , but im more motor oriented. i wanna do a full type r turbo build, so i need to start saving for that lol. what do you guys think?

yeah i wouldn't do type r turbo.
that motor is not a good boost motor stick N/A with a type r or do LS-T or GSR-T. save yourself some money and time.

type r turbo is a retarded waste of money. Use the money towards a gsr block and build that instead.
