It is more my philosphy than anything. Honda is known for making extremely good NA motors and moreson NA race cars. The ITR, and more importantly the B18C5 highlights this to perfection. To me keeping an ITR motor NA is keeping it pure...and because he wants to swap a motor and boost it anyway I suggested the ITRs nearly identical twin...the B18C1.
Personally, I'd rather boost the B18C5. Since I'd never setup a turbo without tuning it anyways then it's a moot point IMO. I wouldn't be going for big power and you can run 10lbs on a stock B18C5 easily if you know what you are doing.
I see where you were coming from however. I just didn't want the guy to be scared of boosting it from your post which seemed to intend that the GSR motor is simply _better_ for boosting. :cheers:
