this is going to be for christmas. my moms going to buy me a swap. i told her i need one becuz it will come with air conditioning :). so really it doesn't matter. but i don't want a type-r motor cuz i wanna stick with boost.

I don't know how many times I've heard people say you shouldn't turbo an ITR motor cuz of the compression, and how many people say it's fine if you tune right.

It's fine if you tune right.

Get the GSR tho.

oh i know a guy here with a itr turbo tuned with neptune that rips. but i don't think a 4 thousand dollar swap my mom would go for lol. then i have to get all the parts for the turbo. and a good manifold isn't cheap. know where i can get a gsr swap?

no. i'm sellin my b18a. i don't want a ls anymore. i mean if i could get everything i need to swap it in i would. but i have to buy alot of little things here and there. plus i really don't know what all i need.

Umm so you're sellin your LS because there's too many little things you need to actually do it... You think any other B series will be easier and just swap itself in without that little stuff?

i mean the ls was takin apart and i dunno what was done to it or not done to it. it was block guarded and the crank was machined and balanced and thats all i know. it has no oil pick up, no cam gears, no dizzy, no intake manifold, half the bolts are missing off of it, and i dunno what else is missing. i just figured i could sell the ls i have and buy a whole swap that comes with everything i need to put it in. or at least buy a complete motor. not one thats missing stuff
