JDM gsr vs USDM gsr
What do you guys think I should go with..
B18C - 180Hp 126Trq 10.6 Compression (JDM GSR)
or
B18C1 - 170Hp 121Trq 10.1 Compression (USDM GSR)
I am asking because I am planning to go turbo, and I wanted to know if I should go with the GSR motor with lower compression?

Re: JDM gsr vs USDM gsr (hatchback)
its always easier to tune with the lower compression. but you will make more power at less boost. what management will you use? i would say go for it. and youll have a little more fun with it before you turbo. or you could go with the lower CR and boost a little more(if you want to). wow, i guess that doesnt help too much

Re: JDM gsr vs USDM gsr (hatchback)
I was also wondering if lower compression pistons would be necessary on the b18c(JDM) for low boost(under 8 psi). The place I want to order from only has JDM's in stock.

So what do you guys think would be best..
It kind of sucks because the USDM motor costs about $300 bucks more..
Anybody else have any more imput?

I say get the JDM. With 10.1 or 10.6 comp, you're going to need top notch tuning. So save the $300 on the motor and just put it towards the tuning.

Re: JDM gsr vs USDM gsr (symba)
Will I have to end up, lowering the compression some how? Or would I just do as you guys are saying and just have it tuned really well?

Re: JDM gsr vs USDM gsr (hatchback)
with good tuning on the jdm motor
you should be able to do around 320whp on race gas - if not more
this is at around 9psi
320whp in a light hatch should give you high 11's
a guy around the chicago land area just put down 320+whp on a completey stock jdm gsr motor tuning was with smc+ and dsm 440cc this was one race gas to be safe...
to high whp stock motors

he does have a skunk2 IM and some other stuff. he could have put down a little better numbers too because he didnt take it up as high as he could have.
