Turbo swap
 
I've been looking into swapping out my d16y8 for something fully built for lots of boost. I have been thinking about getting a b16, b18a, b18b, or b18c. I know the gsr is badass, but the price difference on these motors are tremendous. I have a complete b18a available for only a few hundred bux, was thinking of a b16 for 1500, or the gsr for about 3000. Now, I know everybody including myself is gunho over the gsr, but the price of the motor is crazy to the others. The only reason I'm still considering the gsr is the oil squirters that come on it. I will have a completely built block, i.e. pistons, rods, bearings, springs, valves, retainers, cams, intake, etc. Now for the goals. My goal is to have a 300-350 hp daily driver, and then turn up the boost when at the track or what not. I want a reliable motor, and extremely fast, so whats your opinions? In all fairness, will the gsr be the best motor for the build or would a LS-VTEC , or B16? Thanks

LS-VTEC for the win. if you build it right, this can be one badass motor. i know marty has a block up for sale he is willing to build up for you.
