You would have less of a hassle with just b18c turbo.

My H series tranny is bullet proof...

Unfortunately I have a really dumb ass reason for knowing thish: ... when we put my motor in we all assumed someone had put fluid in the tranny... well no one had and I drove on it for a week with no oil... that's right no oil and I drove it kind of hard a few times that week even though I shouldn't have.

Well I discovered this after fifth gear kept popping out and I thought to check the fluid.. pulled fill bolt and no oil... pulled drain bolt and hardly a drip. Anyhow put oil in it after beating my head on the concrete for an hour or so and it has been 100% fine ever since.

the only problem you should have with one of these trannies and turbo is if you have the stock lsd. But that's only with extreme hp #'s coming off of boost. If you don't have the lsd or do and don't plan to go hog wild with the boost then keep it as is... otherwise invest in a good solid lsd and this tranny will do just fine.:thumbup:

If you know how to properly tune your suspension beyond just struts and springs then the H will handle just fine... plus when you're coming out of the corner.... BWAAAAAAAHHHHHH.....ZOOOOOOOM!!!!!:fawk: :thumbup:

Well, installation of the GSR turbo kit would be easier (since I've done both). Let me tell you that the Revhard kit for the GSR is kick ass, but for the Lude...FMAX...just ditch the fuel system they give you and go with a Hondata on both setups.

Maintenance...doesn't matter. They're both turbo'd so you're going to have to do the same things.

Reliability? I'd lean towards the GSR engine because the H series ring lands are prone to cracking more easily. However, it ultimately depends on tuning. If your tuning is really good then they'll both be able to last a while. This does not include acts of stupidity such as dropping 3rd and boosting on the freeway for all of 3rd, 4th, and pulling hard in boost in 5th to see if you can keep up with that Enzo that just passed you.
