Default Torn between supercharging or all motor with my jdm itr...

What up guys.. I have a del sol with a jdm itr. I've been thinking for a while now and I'm kinda stuck on what route to take. I was thinking about buying a sleeved ls block and a Jackson Racing supercharger. I have always thought an itr should stay all motor though. I'm a torque freak and that's why I was thinkin about supercharging but like I said I am torn. Another option would be building a b20 block and throwin my head on it. Obviously money doesn't come into play too much but I would like to keep it under 3 g's if possible if I'm keepin her all motor. I'd be happy if I got close to 250 to the wheels. I guess I'm askin what a practical setup would be given what I mentioned? My mod list right now consists ofassword jdm intake,jdm header, im,tb, full 2.5 catback with no cat but two resonators.( I will be losing those soon) Buddy club cam gears,chipped ecu, and a competition clutch and lightened flywheel. I'm runnin 176 to the wheels and I think 123 ft. lbs. of torque. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Why would you sleeve a block to make puny horsepower on a JRSC? You can slap a JRSC on a stock engine and make the numbers you are looking for.

personally, I would go for a lower compression setup, with a JRSC. lower compression on motor = more boost on JRSC

if you're considering boost go turbo. you can make 250whp+ on a stock b18c easily

Default turbo is the way to go !

turbo is better than all your options , you can dial up or down boost and if you dont run boost its like all motor!

boost ftw.

turbo setups are relatively cheap and very scalable.

HMMM most people with JRs are going with high compression. Its not like your going to be running 16 pounds on a JR, low boost high compression(or stock with a ITR)= damn good numbers check out the ever increasing JRSC thread on H-T for some good examples of your setup with a JRSC.
