Default B18r n/a or GSR+boost

what would you guys rather have in a 95 coupe, B18C5 fully built head, or B18C1 w/ revhard turbo kit on stock internals in the begining. I plan on drag and auto x, plus its gonna be my daily driver!!!

By Auto-x, do you mean driving real fast and taking turns on public streets?

By drag, do you mean driving real fast on public streets?

the turbo will be no fun on the autox at first and can give u unwanted torque steer if you can actually get the turbo to spool up enough.. but I would choice a GSR.. built N/A over a turbo for possibly lower maintenance.. and throttle control should be superior with the N/A setup over the turbo set up.. unless you plan to get a Garret GT ball bearing series turbo.. and have u driven in a autox yet? you may want to attend and see other setups that people run..it's your choice good luck

for starters you need to really define what you want, you said it was going to be a daily driver, this is probably your first and foremost decision til you get another beater. with n/a, like posted before, you might have less maintenance and whatnot. for auto-x i'd say go with a smaller turbo that spools up very quickly (ball-bearing) but that might not suite your tastes for drag though

in the end do some in-depth searches on this board in this and the forced induction sections for people's setups and what not, you should be able to gain an idea of what you want and will best suite your needs
