yes the type r engine is a quicker engine and would obviously win because neither of them had any modifications
the type r is a good stock engine but the gsr engine responds much better to mods

not really...i/h/e will lower the type r into low 14 second passes, compared to i/h/e on a gsr which will get u a 15 flat MAYBE. gains are pretty equal, but the type r still gains more...only bad thing bout the motor is it's high compression (10.6:1) which is tough to do much w/ unless u lower the c/r w/ new pistons..

you wouldn't really call high compression a bad thing if you're going for performance would ya? :D i know it's a bitch to run on pump gas in america, but a 10.6:1 c/r should be fine w/ 91 octane. i wouldn't lower the c/r for any other reason than boost. if not, i'd probably bump the c/r a bit and run some vp race fuel....haha.....i just need some money....

yes very very true. i cringe at the thought of someone trying to boost w/ stock type-r internals. i'm sure it's ok at low boost but if i had the money for a type-r motor AND turbo, i'd go w/ the lo-comp pistons and all that good stuff......wouldn't you agree? :D :D
