What in the heck is a 'poor mans Type-R' ?
What in the heck is a 'poor mans Type-R' ?
Generally accepted as a GS-R shortblock with a 16A head and ITR cams/manifold
There appear to be several variations....
1) 18C1 block with ITR (JDM or USDM) pistons and 16A head + ITR cams/wutever manifold
2) 18C1 block with ITR (JDM or USDM) pistons and complete ITR head
etc...etc....
I'm sorta "consulting" for "1."

im in the process of building a poor man's itr.
I am using a 94 gsr block with a b16a2 head w/ itr intake cam, gsr exhaust cam. skunk2 mani, itr throttle body, and rsr exmag exhaust.
I want to use aftermarket forged pistons w/ 10:1 compression, and aftermarket forged rods. I am only going with 10:1 because I may turbo it later on, and 10:1 seems to be a happy medium between boost and NA.
Oh, and new obd2 oil pump, gsr water pump, arp rod bolts, and arp head bolts. Should be a good platform for 350+ HP if I want to boost later on.

Mine has a GSR block with 11.5:1 CP pistons, Eagle rods, b16a2 head with no portwork, Skunk2 springs and retainers, Buddy Club spec 4 cams, Skunk2 intake mani, DCsports 4-1 JDM 4-1 header, 2.5" exhaust, ITR Trans. Not sure how much power it makes, its not tuned yet. So far its best was a 13.5 @ 99 running on a chipped p28. I'm hoping for either 200whp or a 12.9 1/4 mile with a much better header and neptune.
Sorry to sort of thread jack, but what is the point of putting a b16 vtec head on a gsr bottom end? Does it bump up compression a tad? If so, by how much. Does it flow better? I have no idea. Someone please help me out. Im confused.
I would really like to know.

well then what do you call a built b16c1 block and b16a head? frankenstein? that would be ls/vtec

OK, me and my buddy just got done building a poor-man type r but after driving it the motor seem to feel like there is a major power loss on top end. I've check the compression but it seems like I'm not getting the right psi for the piston that I've put in. Am I leaking compression anywhere? or did i not torque the head down right? A torque spec would also help just in case that i didn't torque down the head right. Any info would help out a newbie like me thank you. Here is a list of the build.
-B18C1 bottom block
-B18C1 Crank
-B16?? cylinder head (stock)
-Jdm ITR Piston (standard oem size)
-Stock Gsr injector
-Gsr timing belt

-Wiseco 12:1 compression pistons

-type r valvetrain
-270cc injectors
-70mm throttle body
-aem intake
188whp on dynopacks

i'm putting together a 95 gsr block with 00 usdm itr pistons 00 b16a2 head with 00 gsr camshafts and using a p2t computer for now. hopefully it makes decent power for a daily driver.
-B18c1 block (stock pistons)
-B16 head (stock 99si)
-ITR intake manifold w/TB
-some ebay intake & DC 4-1
-chipped PR3, LS cable trans
-90' ef DX hatch
14.1@100
no dyno
that motor was a good little beater thou....lasted a while till the driver side mount bracket broke.
