would it be better to turbo a fully stock LS??? or to spend the extra money and swap a 01 Type R motor in and then do whatever.... the main thing is the turbo will be on an automatic LS... vs a manual type R swap with a lotta power to begin with.... thanks

Brian this is for you bro!!!!

 

it's for my boys Integra GS

 

i'd do turbo, lots more room for expansion and upgrades. the C5 already flows like a mother, it'd be really hard to harness anymore power out of it without spending some serious $$$$. just my .02

 

go with the b18c5 swap and be one happy bitch. but first i would sell the teg and get a hatch

 

all motor!! all motor!!

 

Turbo that GS and be done with it...Run something like the Greddy Kit with Intercooler at like 12psi and your friend will love his car...Use a Tranny Cooler for sure as your Auto Tranny will take a whole lot of abuse and the internal parts are easier to be damaged due the increase in heat...

Do a b18c5 w/ a auto to manual conversion, it isnt that hard

 

swap in a gsr manual tranny and go turbo. the ls has such good torque and it'll make good top end too. type r's make u wait too long before u go anywhere and they're so damn expensive. ive seen ls's with pistons and rods make 239+ to the wheels. try gettin that all motor and driveablility is gonna go down. u cant match boost. either way ditch the auto.

 

turbo... ITR's i think are over-rated for the $$$$
