Default is it worth it?

i have a 94 LS and im debating on wheather or not i should drop a B18c1 in it or just rebuild and turbo.... the GSR motor is stock so obviously i would get much more life out of it, and im looking for both performance and liability... i hear LS with turbo is pretty reliable with low PSI because of the compression ratio... well basicly my question is this, if i do get a GSR motor will i be regreting it... or will it satisfy the need for speed and be worth every penny

If you want reliability..gsr..if you want more speed for less money...turbo. IMO, I would rather have a nice gsr motor with 30 k on it as a building block for the next 10 years

See if you can drive someone elses GSR and then someone else's turbo Teg and see what you like best.

I think once you get the speed bug, nothing is ever fast enough. As for me, my GSR is fast enough... because I'm broke!

Swapping in an entire engine, even with a reputable shop, isn't exactly synonymous with reliability. Turbo the LS.

You'd want an Integra 10 years from now?

I can no longer trust your judgement.
For this I must say Turbo.
