Opinion Thread: GK5 Turbo Kit or K20a Swap?
 

just curious about which one in your opinion is the better overall swap and the pros of cons of both :)

(feel free to redirect me to another thread if this has already bee discussed)

Depends on how much power you want.turbo will get you near 180 and you will enjoy but what if you get bored and wanted more power?
with k20 or k24 yu will start with 200-220 and those respond very well to just intake,headrer,exhaust and tune.so you will be near 240 with those.and vtec on k-series is a blast to drive.
but with k-series you will spend a lot more than a turbo but option to go more will be limitless.with turbo its vice versa.
Coming from a guy who tried both option. i had turbo my Honda Fit Hybrid,which has CRZ engine in it from Japan.power was near 210-220 and was very enjoyble but i got bored and wanted more.so now i have k20/24 setup with 290 hp.
i spent 5k in turbo swap and 12k on K20. so choose one.
