I have a problem myself on deciding wheter or not to stick to N/A or to turbo it. they way i see it i can spend $4000 to get 100whp using 5-6psi. or spend a lil less on a Manifold,Fuel Rail,Bigger injectors, Ported TB,Cam Gears, and go tune it to get around 15-25hp. personally i would like to stick N/A but it just costs so much more.
i dont have a gsr anymore. i sold it. all i have now is a choice between a JDM ITR and JDM GSR. the USDM ITR motor was sold. im really not trying to spend $2000 on a long block that im just gonna tear completely apart to changeout the pistons. i can get a usdm type r transmission for around $1360 which will bring my total to $3360 which is still $13-- less then the itr but without the power i want. I could change the pistons for that money to some CTR pistons and use my mugen head gasket and get about 12.3:1 compression. and i could use my omni power valve train to get some nicer cams. but then im going to spend the difference in rebuilding the block that i just paid $2000 for.
