Default what about a B18C type r swap?

Well I have been thinking about my swap or turbo idea and believe I have decided to combine them. How awesome do you think it would be to swap in a B18C Type R complete everything basically, tranny, motor, all of it, and then later on (after i am out of debt from the engine) boosting it?

I was originally planning on swapping in a regular B18C but then was thinking to myself "you know, it would be pretty awesome to actually have a type r engine" and was like "what the hell, lets go for it."

so now i start saving for my sexy swap. So this is basically what my car is going to be getting put in eventually, i think it will be pretty damn nice and will definetely fly

don't turbo that engine unless you really know what you're doing. It's already high compression and not so boost-friendly on the stock internals.

yeah been thinking about it and will probably just leave the engine alone if i put in a type r and just add some little things for a bit more power, already going to be a huge upgrade over what i have now so i suppose it would make since to see if i am happy with just that engine before doing something extreme to an already awesome engine

I would have to agree with u and say if u put in a Type R swap don't boost they are not boost friendly. But if u put a B18C1 (GSR) boosted that would b badass, im saving for a turbo for the B18C1 in my hatch now. Even a B18B1 or A1 or w/e would be kickass boosted

Sell your car, or leave it stock. Please.
