I am…u are all right… on a budget bbbuutttt I’d rather save the extra money and do a gsr swap > > I just want a daily driver that doesn’t run a 16.6 like mine does now and is street legal > > And yes I want to do a swap into my d/d and boost my d in a pos hatch > And the reasoning behind this is… > I would love to just get a project car and swap and boost it bbuutt i’m tired of my daily driver having no balls what so ever so if I could I would just boost my d/d but thats not too reliable and I wouldn’t pass inspection legally and I’ve never really heard of a fast all motor d series so thats why i’m doing a swap…and if I have a left over engine I think it’d be fun to throw it in a hatch and boost it…and with the project i’m not looking for big numbers I’m just planning on making a modern day rat rod…primered hatch…some gold gsr fat fives, d16y8, 14b, dsm 450’s, custom i/c piping, vitara pistons…it’d be a fun lil hatch This shit is backwards for sure LS motors vs a D series a ls car will crush… vince went like 14.6 on a stock ls in a hatch on street tires > [@Alternatives to toilet paper](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/alternatives-to-toilet-paper/34111/14): > > Obvious choice here is an LS K20 swap. good reliable engines found in the RSX and Civic Si Hatches '02-'05.
