The other day I was wondering if it would be better to put a type r engine into a civic than putting a gs-r. The civic would probably be naturally aspirated and maybe one day be turbo. I know you're saying "why get the R if your going to go turbo?" Well I said MAYBE. Anyways I'm into the JDM stuff and theres not any low compression stuff for type r's from toda or spoon(for turbo). I'd better get back on subject. Which do you think would be better as a naturallly aspirated setup or maybe one day turbo? Don't worry about cost I'm just curious.

 

type R in a civic is good..... gsr turbo is better and less money and faster than a NA type R....

 

They are both good choices for either road, but I find the Type R motor extremely overhyped and overrated. For the extra money you pay for the Type R motor, you could do some work to the GSR or save for the turbo setup.
