best engine for Type-R??

[IwantAteg]

hey, im new to racing and crap and i just wanted to know what the best engine for a Type-R is? anybody spread some light on the subject? and if not Type-R, then a GSR.

[94tegRS]

best engine for the type R is the B18C5

[IwantAteg]

yeah thats what i was thinking. any stats on the engine?

[94tegRS]

this is off the top of my head so if it isnt exactly right im sure someone will correct me

1797cc
10.6:1cr
DOHC VTEC
redline is 8300 I think
195 HP
130 ft/lbs

also the tranny is a close-ratio with a LSD which is nice.

if you want a drag racer and not a road racer, then Id go a differen route. like mayeb a GSR and boost it, or a LS and boost it, buying a ITR is a waste of money for drag racing cuz its basically tuned from honda and theres not alot of power ot be gained with it unless you dont wanna drive it everyday as well.

[IwantAteg]

yeah, i was thinking more for road racing. So a no on a type-r? thats cool, do you know of anything else that could benifit me in making the car as fast as possible. e.g. boosting hp, torque, is it better to make it lighter or have some weight to it, that kinda shit.

Isn't the B18C better than the B18C5? I thought the first was the JDM type r, followed by the USDM type r, then the GSRs B18C1. I could be full of it, but I thought I heard that before. Actually you're probably right, cause I've also heard of B18C3s. I'll probably need correction here. B18C=JDM=200hp+11.0:1 compression and B18C5=USDM=190hp+10.6:1 compression. Seein as how I don't own one, and don't plan on owning one, its not too big a deal that I'm confused by all these, but I think I'll learn eventually.

congrats you get the dumbest question of the day award

[Spectre927]

I always do a little research, whether on here or google, before I ask a question, and I ask alot don't get me wrong, but also be very clear on what you're asking, if it sounds like a question that'll get you ragged on, reword it.

[94tegRS]

sorry if you misunderstood me, for road racing, YES the ITR, much better than any other teg for that purpose, but for drag racing to get any real power youd have to completely rebuild the engine wiht stronger internals and/or drop the sompression way down to run any decent amount of boost through it. thats why the GSR/LS would be better for a drag integra. and the B18C is the JDM GSR and ITR engine, over ythere they dont have the numbers aftrewards, I think thew GSR is 180HP and the ITR is 200HP and here it is 170/195 and they are distinguished by the 1 and the 5. I have also read once where they were listing what engines this part would fir(dont remember what) and they listed B18C1/3/5. Ive bnever heard of it anywhere else but...

and to go fatser you want this, to be lighter, to have more power, and to have good traction. adding weight to it would be dumb.

[IwantAteg]

yeah, i know my question sounded really stupid. must have not have been thinking. ok so the b18c is a good engine, but where can i get a good deal on one, cuz i was talking to some dude and he was saying 6 grand.....im not that up to date on car engines and prices but that seems pretty high. My friend was looking into getting a skyline engine (rb120 or something) for about 5 grand. sooooo can you spread some light on that for me? is 6 grand about right or is the guy a friggin rip off?

[KrNxRaCer00]

6k for a b18c5 is WAY too much. should be around the price of 4-5k depending on taxes/shipping etc...

u don't need a motor swap though buddy. if u purchase an integra type r, then it comes stock with the b18c5 which 94 has so nicely explained it's major advantages and weaknesses.

if u want to drag race, get the gsr or ls (the gsr comes with the b18c1 motor stock, the ls comes with the b18b1 motor stock)-assuming u want the 3rd gen integra.

if u want auto-crossing or any type of road racing, then the integra type r is by far the most dominant of the integras.<----that is all that 94 was saying....

[IwantAteg]

ok, that explains alot. Now another question haha. what are the differences between a GSR and a type-r? are there only certain mods you can get for a GSR that you cant get for a type R or what? i know it sounds really stupid but like if you buy a body kit for a GSR theres no way you could put it on a type-R right?

never done it myslef but i think when you buy a body kit it is for a certain yea rintegra, they dsont even ask what model. and the diff's between the ITR and GSR is the ITR has 25HP more, lower gearing, LSD, better stock suspension, 5 lug, ligheterweight because of no moonroof and I think AC might have been an option. it also has a differnt body styling from factory, lip kit, ITR spoiler, and no side moldings. probably a few other differences as well, and I think ive seen a complete B18C5 swap for 4800 bucks on hmotors, and the skylines are RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT. and I think the RB20DET is much much cheaper than 5k, the newer R34 RB26DETT is only like 8k I think. they have the prices of skyline swaps on unstable_hybrids.com but they od not sell swaps anymore by themselves, they install them as well.

[IwantAteg]

yeah, thanks for the info, but even though i might have a car with a b18c5, im pretty sure my friends still gonna kick my ass in his 240sx, hooked up with silvia parts and a RB26DETT engine lol

[94tegRS]

you sure it is the RB26? cuz I mean, its possible, but im assuming he didnt do it himself or hes really good with cars. and I checked and they get the RB26DETT for 5500 for the old one and thats not including the RWD tranny and other parts for the install. the newer engines run about 8k and you still gotta get a RWD tranny. but yeah, if hes got a RB26DETT powered 240, dont even try and keep up with him in your teg. maybe if yuo boost the hell out of an LS then youll have a chance

I actually dont know how fast the 240 would be but I mean come on, a 2.6L I6 twin turbo, it just has to be fast!
