    Do what you want. Personally, I wouldn't do either.

    You need to decide a number of things.. Goals: is it a daily, do you want to race(drag/auto cross), etc... Figure those out with a HP goal, then people can give options..

    yea, it'll be a dd; but i still want it to be sporty and fun to drive lol not lookin to get more than around 3-400 whp out of it as well. the gsr is my top choice, but i've heard of a gsr/b18ls top and bottom setup as well, was curious if you guys have heard anything about it.

    Look at a swap first, full LS, or GSR.. Then you can find smaller turbo kits, little more to it, but the LS/v is fine only when done right.. Since you don't know much then get qoutes on a swap first, then turbo.. Gotta pay to play homie!!

    Yeah, most times it's better to build what you have, so you know for sure.. In your case you still need a swap to start with..LOL

    Do what's really matter. 5lug conversiOn dont make drive any better. Ek front look retarded on the hatch.

    If you are talking about replacement, its easy. If you are going bigger, I don't know what all is involved.

    Take the old one out and put the new one in. Be sure to bleed the brakes.

    oh so got a few new ones guys: found out the bolts on my exhaust manifold are not all there; two are snapped off, with half of them still inside the manifold. thinking of tearing it down and rebuilding the d15b7, but also debating on gettin ahold of a clean d18. got any info on cheap/reasonable rebuilds, and would it be worth in in power?

    I am actually giving the motor away. I have no use for it. That is unless a friend of mine wants it.
