I personally would go the B18C1 route (for cheap), build that for boost, then kill everyone one the road.

that, and how low the engine sits in the bay. if you lower the car too much, you'll rip your oil pan off in a hurry if you're not careful.

you can run higher boost on an LS than a GSR, or you can run less boost and have vtec.

Why would I have to do all of that?

h22 uses a cable system for the shifter, as apposed to a linkage system like b series engines use.

Out of all possibilities what would be the best setup in terms of reliability and power?
Keeping a budget in mind..

Equivalent setups with the same turbo on less boost, the GSR will always make more power than an LS.
