youd be better of getting GSR turbo unless you plan on lowering the compression on the ITR

 

Anythings possible...

 

yea.. but its better to turbo a lower compression(GSR 10.6) motor than a high compression motor liek the ITR (11.1)

 

True... Thanks for the suggestion

yup no problem good luck

 

stay away from the c5 like people know the compression is crazy high and for turbo it makes no sense, save money get a gsr with lsd and you will be much happier, got awesome prices on motors like i can do every thing you need for the swap for like 4000 with mounts and everthing

 

Gsr's are cheaper too and thats a plus..

 

Thanks ill consider that

Dont stay away form it the c5 is good for NA its just not good for FI

 

What would you suggest doing then? You seem to have a good bit of experience... Im just curious.. I dont know that much..

 

I'm just as curious as fuz10n is... I've got a older hatch and been wonderin about this stuff too...

 

personally i like NA a lot better than FI(but thats just me). I myself will be getting a b18c ITR. I would recommand that to you if you have the money. If not b16 and GSR's are good motors to

 

If you got a b18c5 stay with all motor as specified. Get some work done with the extra money to your motor and the right bolt ons. If you don't own one yet and gonna buy one then just buy a gsr, build the bottom end atleast and boost! With the right tuning and a strong bottom end you can boost pretty high and pull some impressive hp #'s!

 

Screw the B series, so a K series swap and turbo it!

 

i'd wait a bit longer 4 k series. prices are still dropping.

Yeah, just like they are for a B18C5, right!

 

they're cheaper now than 6 months ago. (k) so yes they are dropping. b18c5 prices have settled a while ago but will prob start dropping in sometime future as the k series prices are dropping.

 

ok look the c5 is alot of compression and thats where the hp comes from is the compression but for turbo you want low compression so you can pack more air in the pig the gsr has lower compression and you can boost more into that motor safely, but like what was said the c5 is awesome for all motor so decide and what you want from that motor, but in my personal opinion the c5 is a whole lot of money for nothing, because the price you pay between the motors you could get the lsd and on the gsr and put the rest of what is left over and gain more power bong

 

yes the k motor is going in my coupe well its going to be the k-24 with k-20a3 head and 6sp lsd tranny bolted together and possibly turbo, because that set up solves the killer honda prob, tourque. then you can bolt a greddy type-s turbo kit to it, do a little custom intercooler pipping and you will have your self one of the sickest cars on earth if you can handle. who is with me on this one?
