You're going to get ass-fucked buying a shitty JRSC that you're going to be sick of in a week, and end up getting virtually nothing when you sell it and go turbo in the long run.

I may not be the best at math but isn't $3,800 something like: $2,000 more than $1,800!!!!! For me $2,000 is a lot and I want to avoid sacrificing any functionality for performance because this is my daily driver. Believe me... if this were my race car I wouldn't have any unnecessary form of weight present in the car, ESPECIALLY the A/C but when you're telling me it will cost me a grand more just to lose my A/C in the name of speed I've gotta decline. Priorities: Reliability, functionality and then performance.

Thanks CivicBlueSi... I'm gonna research more persuant to your link when I'm done with this reply!

Did you even read what I posted? Go ahead and give it another shot there champ. 3800 bucks for a kit with a GT35R, AC mani, 3" DP, big intercooler. 2800 nets you a standard kit with a non-AC mani, smaller intercooler, T3/TO4E 57-trim.

Ok, so don't buy a fab works kit then. Run a Blox exhaust manifold, a tial 38mm gate, spoolin performance downpipe, PTE SC44, ebay intercooler, DSM 450CC injectors. That all told will run you about 1600 bucks. Figure a little bit for some bends locally to do up your charge piping, and some money invested for chips and the like for uberdata and all told you can get 'er done for under 2 grand.

And if reliability and functionality took precidence over performance you wouldn't even think about a blower or a turbo, because those both sacrifice reliability and functionality for performance
