Re: type r or gsr
oh ok I have a 92 hatch dx... I have 5,000 at the moment but I know it's going to come out more cuz I'm planning to bored the block to 2.0.. I planning to drop ten on the car on the long run... And to be honest I don't really have a goal cuz this my second build, my first was a stock b20 just to get my hands dirty, and I fell in love with the Honda game, so basically I just want to to rip for now

Keep the motor stock stay under 8000 rpm and you'll be fine. Learn turbo systems then build the block.
To get a 2.0 out of a b18c you need a ls crank, rods and 84mm bore.
You don't just bore the block and end up at 2.0l

Your making my head hurt already.
Read some of the stock gsr thread and come back in here.
Wantboost is probably going to post a wall of info wait for him.

300-350 Bone stock is sort of the thing around here. Go big or go home. Just have someone build and tune the car for you if you are spending $10,000 on it. You can probably sleeve, forged pistons/rods, good pieced together turbo kit, S300, tune the car and make 500 hp with that budget. Really depends on how much time and effort you want to put into this.

Re: type r or gsr
Why spend more on a r when you plan on building the motor anyways... GSR is the way to go. Both are limited in stock form with ARP head studs to 300-350 whp boosted.
I went with a gsr but kind of wishing I would have gone with a NA K.

GSR + ITR cams....there's no sense in buying an ITR if you're planning to gut it anyway. Also, read through the Forced Induction FAQ at the top of the FI Forum...you need it

GSR for sure, I ended up turbocharging my R but my intentions were to stay NA at first. If your goal is 300whp or less you could even go LS and save some coin.

Re: type r or gsr
No point in doing anything since the limit on the stock internals will still be 300-350. At this point, it would just be more money. I have a second gsr block that I will be sleeving and building for 500ish next year.
Get ya a GSR and a turbo kit from GO-autoworks and you will be a happy camper. I pieced my turbo kit together over the past year and I really wish I would have just gone with a go-autoworks kit.

Re: type r or gsr
I am currently dealing with having to have a down pipe/ dump tube fabbed up to work around my ac so it would have been a little easier if I would have just got a kit where everything was meant to fit together. If it wasnt for ac, it wouldnt have been a problem. And the fact I have a strange turbo that not many have been able to provide much info on. It is a garrett off a old svo t-bird with a turbine off a volvo. Not to mention that if I would have got a kit, I would have been boosted at the beginning of the year.
