Default i got a dilemma....

so i gotta 97 ek coupe, and that bitch has came a long way since i first bought it a lil over 2 years ago. it used to sit on bags (cylinders), on black painted 17s, interior abused and spray painted yellow, a stupid ricer kit front bumper and side skirts, flamed out hood and doors, euro tailights etc.....i gave her a lot of TLC and she looks better but not done. im currently running a d16y8 that does the job for now.

im not much for straight line speed, i like takin turns at 55-70 mph thats why i dont wanna k or h series cause ill be a lil front heavy.

the question is.....what should i do. should i sohc turbo, gsr, or turbo gsr? the reason is cause i can find a sohc turbo set up for about 500-650, gsr for 200 w/warrenty or gsr turbo used. what would you recommend or do?

gsr with warranty for $200????
is it a short block?

i would go with the turbo. you can put out 230whp on stock internals.
but you should upgrade internals so you can put more and take turns with more fun!
