Hi i'm new to the whole engine swap stuff but i have a mentor with 10+ years of experience helping me. Anyway i have an 88 Civic DX Sedan and 90 hp (probably less) isnt cutting it especially when going up hill or trying to keep up with traffic. Anyways i decided to go with with the ls swap. Im planning on rebuilding with new forged internals and my question is should i make it vtec or turbo and have it be non-smogable or go with another engine. I do have the option to "pass" smog, but i rather be legit if possible. Will a gsr swap work?
Theres a fully built one i can get for 1500$(good friend)
If im wrong or sound dumb in anyway, sorry, really new to this stuff.
