Default need help picking a swap

hello, i woke up with this crazy idea that i wanted to buy an integra 94+ and build it. i wanted to do k24/k20 then later on boost it. but now i dont know if its worth it or if i should just do gsr tubro since its going to be a hassle. thanks

I really dislike the idea of a B16 in a integra. Might as well leave it LS and throw a vtec head on it.

that k series swap your talking about is going to run you a couple G'z.If you got money to blow like drake and wayne then go for it. If not i would get a vtec head and build that LS/VTEC or i would get the GSR swap like you stated and build and boost that and then Call it the day.

a turbo for a k is serious money trust me, we looked into it, and not an ebay turbo. But i would still go with k, we have the k20.k24 set up and its bad ass! But it srs money, so if i was on a budget i would do a fully built ls-v and boost it.

GSR turbo will throw down about 320whp. Do you know what 320whp feels like? I'd be willing to bet you will be plenty satisfied with that after you beat your first corvette.
