Rebuild ls and get a gsr head, then a turbo

no it wouldn't. i would rather use the money and put it into a turbo kit, or build ur own kit, or go the all motor route. oh before turbocharging, make sure u get a compression and leak test to see if u need a rebuild first.

I have 95,xxx miles on my car is that to many to put a turbo kit on. would it be worth it to build and all motor ls.

It would depend on what kind of HP gains your looking for. The best all motor route to go with your car is the ls/vtec. You will put out more power than a gsr. You can use the b16 vtec head instead of the gsr head. Only reason I say that is because the b16 will be cheaper to find. I would only suggest this to a person who has a mechanic with a great deal of experience in ls/vtec conversions. Otherwise, turbo will get you the best results.......fISH
