i think you should have saved yourself an extra 2000$ on that POS spoon crap and used it to fully build a gsr and beat the **** out of both of the R engines.

"i would have gone w/ b18c5"

I can't justify that cost for the more horsepower i would just as soon buy a Gsr motor and build it. But that is just me i go the less expensive route.

high compression pistons
lightweight rods
good fuel setup
hondata
skunk2/edelbrock manifold and hondata intake manifold gasket.
i/h/e.

of you could do a poor mans turbo setup for about 2000 and walk out with 240whp.

So, altogether I could have saved 2 gs or so If I built up a gsr?
That includes the cost of the add ons you mentioned?

woha woha saved? no.
it would have cost you about the same to build the gsr
the gsr swap is 3000~

and a poor mans turbo is a junkyard turbo from an old ford (even a new turbo) with used parts.
