Well my crx has had a gsr in it for a few months now and its needing more. Its just about as quick as the boosted Dohc ZC that was in it a while back. I dont feel like posting in the FI or AM threads because they are all biased to what they believe. Any ways I have just about a full turbo kit just needing oil lines and a 255lph fuel pump now, but here is the thing I just rebuilt the head and Its smoking like the oil rings are bad but has 235 compression across the board. My options are to either boost this engine how it is or sell my turbo kit and go All Motor with all new forged internals and built head. What would you guys suggest that i do? I know that both are completely different.

 

Boost for more power.

NA will cost alot to make it fast.

 

All motor with some juice and it'll last a long time unlike a boosted motor

 

The way i see it is like a professional body builder. He could go all his life without using steroids (All Motor) and have it take a lot longer and much more patients. Or he could use steroids (Turbo) and get it all at once in a short peroid of time. But like steroids...it'll ruin your insides over time. But thank god we are only talking about a motor... not your body. LOL. Goodluk man.

 

just some insight you could run a leakdown test to see if its your rings or not instead of a compression test that will be a bit more reliable test method to tell u what is wrong

 

N/A...
ALL MOTOR.

 

Your car, your decision.
