my brother is in this same boat. He really wants to turbocharge an LS motor but i have a feeling if he ever got the motor that he would never fall through on the 2nd part of the project which would be turbocharging. So it would be better to just do a H22. Even a GSR but everyone around us has a GSR or a b16 in there civics. Btw he has a 2000 civic hatch.
