Keep in mind internals on a factory turboed car will be better suited for a turbo. IE, lower compression pistons, and other stronger internals.. If you get a GS motor you will have to build all the internals, strengthen the block, etc.. Its just not worth it IMO. Especially because you are afraid that you might buy a GSX that might have a develope a crank walk problem.
If you were going to do that, just buy a cheap civic or integra and turbo and build the hell out of that.. Or just buy a WRX!

A: Well I would replace just about everything in the GSX motor anyways... and if I bought a GSX and a seperate GS engine, I could build the engine while still being able to drive the car. Keep in mine I said I was gonna replace just about everything- rods/pistons/gaskets/valves/sleeves/etc etc... Then when I was done I could just swap the two and sell the stock GSX engine for more than I paid for the stock GS engine. Then I would have a built engine with no crankwalk issues ready for lots more boost. I dont see why doing something right sounds like a bad idea to you
. Oh- and the civic/acura thing... you gotta be kidding right? As if there arent plenty of those floating around... sorry but I dont want to "customize" my car and still have it look like every other civic that has been "customized". Sure there are quite a few modded eclipse's out there, but not near the numbers of modified civics. WRX- yeah, itd be nice, but then Id have no money left to mod and insurance would be a lot higher. Just some more thoughts
