I understand that you werent gonna do the CRVTEC swap but it's a bad idea to do. The compression is too high. If you were wanting to boost any motor then i would go with the LS(either B18A or B18B) because the compression is 9.2:1 and is almost like just perfect for boost. I had a friend named Richie who had a 91 Integra RS boosted at 16 PSi and i think it was just perfect. At the time i didnt like hondas but once i rode in this...i fell in love with them. So that was my long story just to tell you about the LS/GS/RS motor being boosted.
I disagree on that. U don't have to have low compression or a built bottom end to run Force induction. U can go force induction with high compression but lower boost. You can still be as fast as the built bottom end and it cost less also. Theres guys out there running like 10-12 seconds with low boost (12-18 psi) on a stock bottom end. ITs all about tuning and a/f . You can use it as a daily driver also.
