type r or gsr

[civ88]

if i was to do a swap....which would be the better choice?....
the gsr...or the type r.....im going more for the gfsr...but i anted some other opinions on the subject

[civ88]

sorry bout the typos

[lilol89crx]

IMO the c5. but for the price, c1.

[viper_2_4]

well the type R is a better choice, that is why it is more expensive......do what you can afford (or rather what you are willing to pay)...

[90civicracer]

Yeah, they are both expensive motors, especially the b18c5.

[civ88]

yeah....almost 5k....i was kinda going towards the gsr cuz i have found more parts for it than the type r....but i dunno time will tell....cant make up my mind which one......

that's because the type r has all the parts already in it that most people put into a gsr


and the ITR motor is an amazing machine, however so is the gsr (which I have). I'm working on building my gsr motor with some ITR parts and believe me, it's not cheap. If you can do it, go ahead and get the B18C5.

Yeah a lot of people on b18's who dont have the c5 use the c5's intake mani and other parts off of the c5 motor.

im doing the C5 swap in my hatch this summer. what do you think i'll be running in the quarter mile??

fyi - i also have Nitto drag radials, and have taken 100lbs of interior out.

thanks.

[90civicracer]

It's hard to say. There are so many variables in running, track condition, motor condition, clutch, weather, tires, all that. It shoud be pretty fuckin fast though.

all depends on what u want to do in the long run....na or fi

Exactly, my next mod is going to be an ITR IM or possibly the Skunk2

I know what the car should run, but I have no idea what you'll run, sorry.

[90civicracer]

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that the design on the ITR intake manifold and the Skunk2 is practically the same, and lots of people get the ITR. Haven't had personal experience with it, just what I have heard from other people. Of course what we hear from other people is not always true.
