turbo in mind.
Good Luck
Read the thread, for christ's sake. :squint:
The original poster has a GSR, not an LS.

We're talking B18C1 motors..
not the B18B1.
Besides, your premise is false.
A stock GSR head will always out-flow a stock LS head. The only way to get close the gap with an LS head is to run a higher-lift, zero-overlap "turbo" cam (such as the set from Crower).

Thank you for engaging an argument that takes this thread in the wrong direction. :a: We're not debating the merits of F/I for the LS and GSR motors; we're talking about a budget turbo build for one person's DC2 Integra.
Besides, we had a protracted [and highly misinformed] argument over turbo-LS setups vs turbo-GSR setups a couple of years back. I do not want to see that argument rekindled. If y
Hell with it, this thread is cooked. :squint:
