Default B18b1 Turbo or B18c1?

I have a 95 Ls with like 91k miles on it. Would it be better or me to turbo the Ls or just do a Gs-R swap?

do a compression & leakdown test first to see how healthy your motor is...really its up to you whether you wanna go NA or boost it....if it was my car i'd boost it,this is if the engine is healthy

Yea I think turboing the Ls would be better. A Gs-R would run for about 1800+ the head ache you got to go through with the DMV and Refereeing the engine so it can pass smog. Thanx much.

Yeah you can always bolt on a turbo, then remove it come smog time.

your gonna be un happy unless u do it right. like my buddy 10lbs wasnt enough so he turned it up to 12, fried the clutch ( OEM ) n broke a piston,
if your gonna do it , do it right. forged internals. hondata, a good tune, n a good clutch. too much money for me, i'm puttin in a good clutch n flywheel , ported n polished head, lsd n a 120 shot!

Haha yea its worth it tho in the end. Just hope my car doesnt get stolen just cuz it turbo'd and retards in my city will jack cars for that reason. But yea I was actually thinking of putting a kill switch and a GPS. lol.. idk its just if im able to track the car as they take off in it i would love to pull up as they start trying to rip my car apart.. you know.. but yea so a 120 shot? idk i would never f*ck with Nos or anything like that dont feel like blowing my engine or at least cuttin the engines life in 1/2.. Well Good Luck.. Thanx guys for the tips.
