have you thought about building a d-series and boosting that? it would be more reliable than a stock gsr boosted. also if you were to do d-series build with vitara setup you could fit in 5k budget. that would also bring you over 200whp mark easy. in the end it all comes down to the correct parts and how much money you have.

Since thats probably going to be my next big mod for my D16y7 i want to ask the experts and not so experts
A gsr swap and a turbo are about the same price to do (roughly) , which one would you do first ??
I know that i will gain more horse power with a turbo and my d16y7 however a GSR engine will be more reliable in the longer run.

Definetly rebuild your Y7 (I thought I read D17) with a turbo rebuild kit. Y7 with Vitaras you can make insane boost numbers. 400+whp. For around the same price as a GSR swap you can have something that blows the ballz off of that.
Unless your one of those guys that has to have Vtak.lol.

- 4 wheel disc w/ brake booster is nice (think safety)
- The great thing about a turbo on a D-series is that the motors are a quite cheap....rebuilding another D on the side is fairly cheap (for back-up)
- Converting to B-series motor mounts (B16, B18c+, B20) ...then considering turbo...

A guy just made 500whp on a stock block with only ARP rod bolts on OCO.
For the cost of a B you can have a turbo D that would rape 90% of the cars out there if its built right.
