Do you guys think my car would sell faster If I install a jdm dc5 k20 type r swap with lsd 6spd. 220 hp stock with 11.7:1 comp. I know it wont be as fast as what I have, but prob alot quicker and, more fun to drive with the close gear ratio and high ... rev's plus lsd. My swap alone sells for like 1500 and the turbo kit cost me 4100 so It's pretty much an even trade. Plus No labor for me. Just drop it off and pick it up. The swap is from a laguna Seca blue ek hatch here in M.O. Devin Mills owns it. The swap has crazy low miles.
Just wanted to get some advice on what to do. And I know way down the road turbo's start having problems, it is inevitable. All motor would be alot less maintence and sound mean as hell.

i would not do it, a car that new people would ask what happened to te original engine, if you went threw one engine that fast how is this one been abused. the best bet would be to take the turbo off and put the stock stuff back on and sell it like that, then sell the turbo kit.

Don't do it!!! You didn't listen to me when you bought the s/c, now did ya. Stay turbo, screw NA.
My opinion.

the dc5r is nice and the 6speed and lsd it will be fun to drive but you may do all of this and it may not sale faster. your going to have to find that serious person thats willing to take the car for all the mods youve done and realize exactly whats there. people do ask questions like b18ccivics said. theres alot of money there yes and its a good looking car. all motor is more dependle in my book. i myself would rather buy a car with a jdm swap versus a car that u dont know how hard shes been rode with a turbo or s/c .dont get me wrong forced induction is good too, just more worries and maintnance. good luck either way.

Keep the turbo, turn up the boost, smoke type r motor, that is all.
