Default k20 type r swap, or built turbo gsr motor in "project ressurection"?

well at first i had my heart set on a k20 swap. but i keep adding everything up and all the custom work and it's gonna be a lot. i'm ok with spending money but i'm starting to feel like i could get more out of a built gsr motor with a turbo and have a lot less headaches and save some money. what do you guys think?

If you have the money to do a K20 swap, why don't you just invest in a new car?

H2B would be a lot cheaper than a K20. But personally, I would go with the built turbo GSR.

Is it just for fun? Race car? Daily Driver? I personally would NEVER own a turbo'd honda, let alone DD it, and I know people are going to disagree, but its just MY personal opinion. I dont like turbo'd Hondas. K20 swap is unique and extremely bad ***.. Everyone and their Mom has a turbo'd Honda......

PA can get hot and humid in the summer but it's not horrible every day. i would run it on pretty low boost most of the time. but i would be looking for a reliable 350whp. everything is gonna be done right.

Do you know what Unique means? It means rare, different, Not faster than a Turbo... How many k20 tegs do you know? VERY few. How many Turbo'd hondas are there? Millions. K20 swap would be extremely unique, where as turbo may be faster, but everyone does turbo and they arent as maintence free as a k20 swap would be.

the only reason that a kswap is unique is because its so expensive, yes a good turbo b-series set up is expesive too but an na b-series is cheap and you can build up from there, where as you will spend more money on puting in a stock na k-series.
wait a few years when the k-series **** goes down in price, and every regurlar joe that cant spend **** loads on a car will be able to afford to swap one in and they will be just as common as a turbo b-series, so if you

to the op its all gonna be personal preference to you, if i had the money i personally would love to try the k-swap, but its just not cost/time feasible to me so ill stick with my built gsr, the na k swap would probablly be alot more fun than a 350hp turbo b-series, it will just take you alot longer to put it together

what is the point of having a car that is hardly driven, it would be a waste
