i am only 17 and have not much money and so i was curious which should i do.. turbo my civic ex motor with that sweet edelbrock kit? or just get a ls motor with intake, headers, cams/gears, intake manifold all that but no turbo? so all motor ls or turbo civic ex motor? and please don't give me replys sayin get a different car or k20 or sumthin just be cool and answer my question directly. thanks.

integra ls motor more displacement= more power especially with cam/gears intake, etc. when u have tha money to do it, then u can add a turbo to your integra motor assuming the integra motor your getting is a 1.8 L

turbo man! turbo way is cheaper and more hp i think.

GET THE LS MOTOR AND TURBO IT NOW IF U WANT MORE COMPRESSION I SUGGEST U REBORE THE HEADS IF ITS THE 1.8 TO ATLEAST A 2.0 TO GET BETTER COMPRESSION FOR UR TURBO.

the LS will have more potential if you plan on doing more stuff to it.The turbo D16 will be faster from the get-go.

Go with the Integra. Turbocharging will have more of a chance to break something and then you'll have dumped all that money in for nothing. But really, I would tell you to get an un-modified car and keep it that way. It burns more fuel when you modify a car. Gas is getting up to over $3.00 a gallon and if you don't have the money to throw around, don't do it!
