i think i am gonna try and build the 8 valve never herd of anybody doing that yeah i wont get that much out of it but anything is better than i got right now, and its best to have an original. and when i am in collage will build like a b18 motor or a b16 motor something like that and mess around with engines but for now that is my goal to build the famous 8 valve and tell al my friends who have stock 16valves to shut up because they just got beat by an 8 valve muahahahahahahhaah i will up date after everypart that i put on and how much it improved on the dyno.

the gsr swap is much cheaper than the type r swap and its much easier to adapt a turbo to

Ah, a common misunderstanding. It's not that it's EASIER to put a turbo on a GSR motor; it's that you can safely run higher boost on stock internals due to the lower CR. In the end, with some other bolt on mods, this generally results in a greater power gain over a C5 running lower boost.

If you have plenty of cash for the swap, id go for a k20 swap. Check out the video of the k20 swapped hatch here. http://www.hybrid-racing.com/gallery.html

Oh, god yes. Its not terribly simple in my car. Nowhere near as easy as some other swaps. The engine isnt cheap either, about at much as 2 B18C1s. But anyone who undertakes a K20 swap, my hat goes off to.

If you've got that much cash, do a C5 swap, then build the ***** out of it, or a GSR swap with a turbo kit and a light build.
