Turbo a GSR? - HondaClub.com

I have a 1995 Acura Integra GSR with 168,000 miles on it...Do you think I should Turbo it if my cylinders are all running the same pressure or should I just do a complete motor swap...Im thinkin about getting t t3/t4 turbo with full piping-intercooler-fuel rail-turbo cam gears-belts-exhaust and intake manifolds.The tyrbo kit is around $500-$900 which is less money than a new motor.Im up for any opinions or comments so dont be shy.

Get the motor checked out. If it's fine, then go straight for the turbo. No sense in wasting money. Hondas run forever. I would add a thicker head gasket and lower the compression ratio though. That'll save you some headache and cost.
