It is possible to build a n/a car to make 250whp ( http://www.evans-tuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2373 ) it will be expensive, but it is not possible to build a car for boost that makes 250whp before you put on the turbo. You would have to replace everything to turbo a 250whp n/a set-up. A Turbo set-up and a n/a set-up are very different.

yeah, where at in PA do you live... i live just west of Pittsburgh and there is a shop like 45 minutes from me... to the north the could do your engine... the only thing is you have to be serious... if you call them or stop in and they dont think you or then they will hang up or walk away from you... they mean business.

building a high compression block then rebuilding to a low compression block must mean you have alot of money and time.

time and money. i wish i had plenty of that.

seriously though, if you had that much money for parts and labor and if you really wanted an NA setup and turbo setup, save yourself alot of money by buying two blocks, do the work yourself aside from the machine work.

or you can just save yourself all the trouble and just walk one path.

exactly what superblue civic said...
ur gonna build a high compression engine to try and get 240whp out of it..and then ur gonna turn right back around and take off those very parts to turn it low compression for f/i...

not worth it..either get 12 blocks..
or make up ur mind about what u wanna do..
all motor or turbo...
all motor is hella expensive compared to turbo'ing..
and u'll get more power out of turbo as well..

I stock GSR bottom end is strong as hell and can make a lot of power.

Just boost it, find somewhere local that can tune Hondata/Chrome/Uberdata tune the hell out of it and be happy a touch with over 300hp on a OE bottom end. That's more than enough to smoke the living piss out of most cars running the streets today, and still remain fully streetable. As far as money invested vs gains, turbo is the way to go. Getting real serious all motor power is a deep cash well.

and thats why im a strong supporter of the b18c1

any b series block will give you some nice power, with the exception of the b20 short block.

Friend of mine had a B20B shortblock with a B16A head over bored running about 12.1:1 comp, I'd say they can give you some power, just like any motor, if you build it right.

i was comparing stock specs, but, if you build it right applies to alot of things.
