My Questions:1.What type of engines are in each series? (RS,LS,GS,GSR,TYPE-R)2.Should I get a GS-R or a Type-R(I'm just gonna use it for like driving on the freeway and stuff, everyday use, but I want a Kick in the car I'm getting)3. Does adding a turbo to a VTEC, make the car unstable?4. What does PSI and RPM mean?

1) RS, LS, and GS all have the same motor, a b18b1 which has 140 hp and 126 ft-lbs trq.The GSR has a b18c1 with 170hp and 127 ft-lbs trq.The type-R has a b18c5 with 195hp and 128 ft-lbs trq.2) a GSR would be better for everyday use as a type-R would be more likely to be stolen.3) No, adding a turbo to a car that has vtec will not be unstable. It will just have to be tuned differently.4) PSI= Pounds per Square InchRPM= Revolutions Per Minute, which is the speed the motor rotates at.Hope that helps you =]

1. B18B (140hp) - RS, LS, GS B18C1 (170hp w/ VTEC) - GSR B18C5 (195hp w/ VTEC) - Type-R2. I'd say Type-R, sure it's more likely to be stolen but just means you have to keep a better eye on it and put some money into a good alarm.3. No, not properly tuned anyways4a. PSI is how much boost a turbo engine has, this is worthless number because a bigger turbo with less pressure can still put in more air than a small turbo with more pressure.4b. RPM is revolutions per minute, it's on the tach and the higher it goes the louder your engine will be and the faster your car will go. Acuras rev pretty high but if you get a manual don't redline it unless you know what you are doing.
