gsr vs. type r engines

[rollingsuicide]

what the difference between a type r and gsr? the type r doesnt look much better than a gsr. and the gsr is cheapier. i was just wondering if its worth the extra money

[Ace$nyper]

umm just the motor or car itself i'm very lost by your crytic post

[Mannyb18b]

The type R engine has Ported n Polished Heads, diff.Intake Manifold, Higher Compression Pistons, Larger Cams. Type R also has a pricey differential

[CivicSpoon]

ITR: 20 more hp, 8 more tq, higher compression (10.6:1 vs 11.1:1), better flowing intake manifold, better flowing head, lower geared tranny, wilder cam. For All Motor +, for Turbo - (without work of course).

Anybody Know If I Can Get A New Gsr Or Type R Motor. Cuz I Want It "brand New", And Where In So Cali Can I Get It

[b18ls]

I don't think you can get a brand new one unless you buy it from honda. My reason for saying this is, they don't make either car anymore. Keep in mind, you might be able to get brand new rebuilt B-series engines from companies like Spoon, but they will be costly.

Also, (pertaining to discusion between the gsr and type r) Type R has a much better suspension, less weight, and a high insurance rate to match the high theft rate. As a whole, the type r is better, but if your just getting the engines, I would go with the b18c1 (gsr)

[94tegRS]

you could probably buy a spoon B18C5 for what it would cost from honda.

[gsr916]

Actually GSR's have 10.0:1 compression
Type R's have 10.6:1
Civic Type R has 11.0:1

[94tegRS]

last place I saw it the USDM were as follows

GSR 10.1:1
ITR 10.6:1


and JDM was

GSR 10.6:1
ITR 11.1:1
CTR 10.8:1

[b18ls]

I thought the CTR had the highest comp?

Also, a Spoon engine is around $7k! But in there defense, they are the best! At least in my opinion.

[94tegRS]

they are good for what they are for, but if your going down the 1/4 and not a real track then 7k can be spent much smarter. plus have you ever priced parts from honda new, I got a quotew once for a k24 short block and a K20 head and it was gonna be like 4-5 G's cant remember exactly but it was STEEP

i saw a b18c5 motor from spoon set up at www.inlinefour.com for around 6k. It locate in oc. The price is too much. An itr motor is the best h motor, i think. I guess imma save some money and get a turbo, change to stick, and with a used metal itr conversion, then get a paint job at www.mobworks.com. Will that add up to 5k?

[silver bullet LS]

or i can work for a year to get a new spoon set up motor, cuz my salary is under 30k a yr. and still live with my parent. hahha

[silver bullet LS]

well i dont know if i should do a itr metal conversion or fix my motor first?

[CivicSpoon]

what is a metal ITR conversion???
