> So I’m having back and forth thoughts on what to build. Right now I’ve got a 93 Civic Hatchback… I’m debating on doing an LS Swap with a GSR trans and turbo it… I can get a very good deal on the motor trans setup… A buddy said to put a gsr head or a b16 head on it if I was going to turbo it… He also said i would need a decent size turbo for a dohc motor…Heres my issue…I don’t know what is a safe area for boost on these honda motors…If i do this setup i would have nate from tpg tune it for me cause i’m good friends with him…I don’t want crazy high boost just something that will run good and not melt pistons. Or I may just buy a dsm again…I’ve always been able to make them run low 13’s high 12’s fairly easy with bolt ons and not touching the motor…And i know i can run 20 some lbs of boost on a stock motor. So what do you guys think?

Um, find a motor build it, do what is needed to boost it… Dsm’s are nice, but over my yrs on pittspeed (not shown by my post count) ive seen alot of dsm projects come and go…

Honestly, do something wild…theres only like 2 rwd converter civics to my knowledge, why not convert it to rwd and run an s2k motor trans and rear end and slap a turbo on that.?
