you can get an LS engine pretty cheap... i think they are around 800-1000 depending on how old it is.

LS/VTEC is nice but costs waay too much for its gains. Just go turbo.

just do the turbo, cheaper. i paid 1200 for my b18b & it had 30k on it. it wasn't used for over a year as well, the parts guy @ mothers did a great job.

for turbo, LS has longer gearing, therefore its the best for the app.

If you go LSvtec, no turbo, you want something with close gearing. GSR, or even b16/itr with shorter gears.
