Default Which one should i put in my 1992 civic, a K20a, or a GSR?

Aight heres the deal everybody. I have a 1992 Honda Civic, and there are, of course, alot of things I want in her. But my main subject dat I wanna talk about and ask ppl about is putting in a new engine for her. I jus bought my civic recently, and its only an automatic. I plan on changing her to a standard shift in the future, but that wont be for a while. However, even tho it wont be for sum time now, I already know which type of engine i want in her, and it has come down to 2 choices:" either a K20a dual twin turbo, or a GSR. I have heard so much about the K20's, and i've seen with my own 2 eyes wut they can do, and i gotta be honest, the K20's are the ****! I've seen a 1996 civic K20a 4-cylinder hatchback smoke out an RX-8, a corvette, and a damn Firebird like it was nuthin, and i gotta say im impressed. But also, i've seen wut the GSR's can do too, and im impressed with those as well. I've mainly seen GSR's be put and used in the 92 Acura integras, but i jus recently found out that they can be put in the 1992-2000 civics as well. So seein as they are both good quality engines, i jus need help figuring out wich one to put in my civic. From wut my homeboy told me, who is pretty much the master of civic and integra knowledge , was that even though the K20's are fast as ****, the GSR's are jus as fast. The only difference is that the K20 is a 2 liter, but regardless of that fact, the GSR is still jus as fast and can hold its own. So i need to ask u all, which one should i put in my civic? I will accept answers and knowledge from anyone and everyone, so plz feel free to answer this question if u know or u at least think u know wut ur talking about. Thanks!!!

I didnt ask for anyone to give me any type of rudeness. If u dnt wanna help me then das fine, but dat dnt mean u gotta be disrespectful on me and my knowledge-span on civics and engines. Im still new to all of this **** and i jkus got introduced to all of this **** jus recently, so give me a ****ing break man! If u aint got nuthin nice to say to anybody, then dnt bother sayin it and jus leave me the hell alone, and i can find out info from sumone else who aint so disrespectful!

I think you need to check your facts before you start talking about wanting to build this and wanting to build that. We aren't being rude. We are just giving you ideals so you don't make useless post like this. If you say you don't care about money and crap then have your "homeboy" do it for you and you can pay him if he know so much. Like runbycommies said you got to do your research first. I'm not being rude or nothing but by the way you talk and stuff looks like you probably only know how to do oil change and little stuff like that. Get a Helms manual and read everysingle word for word. Just like everyone says you read and learn. Touch and you learn mess up then restart if money isn't a issue for you. Your parents probably spoil you or something. The way you talk sounds like your a rude high schooler but you talk like money isn't a issue to you. With all that much money get a tutor for your grammer. Honda-tech isn't the ghetto.

To make you a little bit happier I would chose a Fully BUILT LOW Compression J30 Turbocharge over any Honda/Acura motor. Maybe if you have the cash you can do some sick build and try a Twin Turbo for it. Then you closer to you dreams. Otherwise good luck.

Exactly what i was thinking. If you cant at least spell out the words your saying, don't bother to say them at all. Reading what you posted took me probably double the time to read from me having to comprehend what it was you were saying.
