cometic headgasket to drop the comp a bit (if you so wish) and a good tune...I've seen people do decent numbers on stock R swaps.

I was just reading this on ti.net about this same thing...

I've seen a few setups that did both (dropped compression or left it alone), and what it really comes down to is tuning. It's just easier to tune w/low compression pistons and higher boost.

---- that

Just pull the motor and sell it for a grip of cash, buy an ls/vtec and boos tthat and piece your turbokit together with the huge ammount of money you just saved

con

boost that c5, thats what I run in my eg.

Headgasket, and boost.

I agree, unless he already has a type-r motor (doesn't sound like it). If you don't have any motors right now, buy a cheap rs/ls/gs (same motor) and slap on some vtaaaak. It will be cheaper in the end if your goal is to have a car with vtec. OR, you can spend a lotta money on an engine that will probably get stolen from you if word gets out of what you have :P

i can get the whole c5 swap for 3000 so thays y i was considering it but would that be better for an all motor carr or should i just boost it

well... you're on this website, that's got to mean something for what you're leaning towards. If you're looking for an unbaised answer, you're on the wrong forum :P
