Default Integra LS - turbo or VTEC

I'm look at trying to get a 94 integra LS because they are cheaper at first to buy, but the thing is the LS is limited in power compared to the GSR. There are two options I've noticed is to put a GSR head or turbo kit on it. The turbo should produce more horse power but at what cost compared to putting a gsr head on it. The vtec would have better gas milage while the turbo would be faster. Ne one know the WHP output of either? I know that turbo can vary in hp and acceleration due to lag. If ne one has any advice on this issue most be helpful.


Also on friday my mom bought a 2002 montero sport. So nice , then later that night a damn dear jumped out at her and screwed up her driver side, how shitty is that!

There is such a wide range of hp regarding what else you have done to your car if you go na, and if your f-i, then the turbo setup and psi determine your hp. People have gotten over 500 whp with a good turbo setup and built block, and Ive heard of gsr's getting up to 240 or more whp. The ls-vtec setup would I think have a little more torque than the gsr motor. For the people here to better answer your question, tell us how much money you are dealing with and how far you would go with either setup.

If you can afford it, always get a GS-R over an LS. They are that much better. If economy must be a consideration, I'd look at the LS w/ turbo if you want a high-power beast.

i'd actually go with a supercharger. This one will give u 226 hp, and 184 ft-lbs of torque. i think thats good.

I reallly want to get a teg now! just because of all the mods you can get. Eventualy I want to turn it into a JDM type-R cause there are alot of USDM tegs, what a change a JDM teg would do here. I would make damn near close to the JDM styling, white with the tags shift knob the rims seats. I am talking D-2 integra he he he
