Default damn i dunno what setup

its either between a
b16a head with skunk 2 mani on a gs-r block to lower compression and a greddy 18g turbo kit.. or a
b16a head on gs-r block to lower compression again with a jackson supercharger with 8psi pulley, comptech headers, iceman cai,

what sounds like a better daily drivier car that i don't have to worry to much about it.... please help

If you are going to do the JRSC I wouldn't lower the compression at all. In fact I wouldn't lower it with the Turbo either. At 8 psi it isnt really needed and will just cost power. Then you'll have to up the boost to make back the power you lost by lowering the compression.

And if you spin the JRSC past 8 psi the gains begin to diminish. The GReddy kit you are considering doesnt have a fuel solution beyond 8 psi. The FCU only has maps to 8 psi(according to GReddy). Anything above that and you have to somehow provide the extra fuel.

IMO Instead of doing the B16 head and skunk2 manifold, I would invest that money in a Hondata and tune your ride better and make more power safer. But that's just me.

Why purchase the Skunk2 for extra $$ when you can bolt on a ITR manifold to the B16a head? My vote goes to turbo - with Hondata of course.
