Default Which swap

Ok so I have the sohc zc in my honda now, but Ive been thinking about swapping in a gsr. If I swap the gsr, thatll be it for awhile on the motor, if not ill turbo my zc. Im looking for reliability and still being fun to drive. I know the gsr would be both, and I have someone that will buy everything for 900, and once I sell my other hatch ill have enuf for the gsr, so which should I do.

And please no d series sucks or ---- like that, gimmie a reason other than that lol.

homemadeTURBO buddy. turbo that ------- d. B series parts are too expensive. just my opinion because ive been runnin one for years... would never go b series. hell ill sleeve my block for more power before i put a b series in it. if you got the $$ vtec in the b series is nasty. if not, build a d and crank up the boost untill it blows up. because when it does, its only $300 for a new engine!

ditto. Use that money for a chipped/socketed p06 and run uber or chrome and see if you could kick down a few for a local hmt member to tune it. If you SoCal, RenrTuning is down here

But yeah, just have her tuned nice and don't worry about the sleeving. Heck I wouldn't even worry about the piston/rods too much either, unless you are trying to make it some type of shoalin warrior. I assume it's a daily driver, have it tuned for 10psi, I think that'll be enough for you to have fun with it without going over board.

Why 10? cause that's the lowest double digit you can have. :P 10 is sooo much cooler than 8 or 9 too.
