Default Engine swap poll

I own a 92 EG & 88 CRX. For years now I've said I was gonna build a 400whp CRX turbo sohc vtec for weekend raping and leave my 92 EG VX for daily driving after I added PS,PW,AC,CC, only because I drive 180miles a day round trip! Anyways my wife owns a 98 DC2 GSR that was hit in the side a few months ago and the check we got wasnt enough to fix the damages! So she is gonna buy a new (new to us) TSX or TL, well she is giving me the DC2 to do whatever I want with it!!!!!!! Being a SOHC FREAK FOREVER I now have a complete obd2 GSR swap!!!! Anyway Im parting out the GSR body and interior and keeping the swap and suspension for myself.

My problem you ask! I dont know what to do!!! I still want a turbo sohc that PUTS OUT like your neighbor hood $lut.

BUT WHICH CAR??????????????????????????

I would take a crx over a eg any day of the week. GSR engines are fun to drive in light cars!

my vote is for SOHC turbo CRX. sell the GSR and that would give you most if not all the cash to boost and tune it. I have a 200+HP turboed SOHC crx and its a blast to drive. I can't even imagine a 400HP crx...

Sell the gsr swap for turbo parts.

keep the gas sipper what it is.

If not that, gsr in the EG and turbo D in the crx.

Why isn't there a turbo gsr crx on that poll...there should be.

If you are doing the turbo SOHC, don't go cheap and gimp alot of stuff. In the end just be happy with what you do, cause in the end it doesn't matter what the poll says or what we say, you're the one that has to drive it.
