i understand exactly where ur comin from no doubt..buildin an ls/vtec with oem parts and turbo is very reasonable..just add the arp rod bolts if u want to turn over 7k rpms..thats all i added and with a better builder(2nrwerks)..i have a strong motor..i just wish i would of used lower comp pistons to turbo no...i was just sayin that an ls/vtec would be very reasonable..depending on what u have lyin around..but..if u need a whole swap..then i agree a gsr would be best to go with..or even an ls if ur really on a budget..and if u plan do rebuild the entire motor..then a vtec block would be ur best choice ie gsr/itr
