Type R????
Yes and no. Yes you COULD....but why? The B18C5 is one of the best naturally aspirated engines ever created - everyone agrees. To turbo it is almost morally wrong. Even so, the gains won't be that much more impressive than a similarly built (and MUCH cheaper) B18C1, the normal GSR engine.
Lastly, you're looking at a HUGE cost in this project. The Type R engine is never cheap, and turboing it properly will not be cheap either... I hope you have deep deep pockets, man.
A Del Sol with a Type R engine is fast enough. If you want to go turbo, go B16a or B18c, honestly. Some people even get monster results out of the D16Z6/Y8.

and :werd: to the rest.
For the price difference between a B18C1 and a B18C5, you could do a lot of mods that would bmake the C1 outperform the C5. IMO the C5 is a sweet engine, but not worth the additional cost. Also, the C1 and the C5 aren't the most turbo-friendly engines. They CAN be boosted ( I am) but you have a small margin of error so-to-speak because the compression is so high.
