which one would u guys pick
my hommie got a b16 in his rex and that shiets hella dope but his gsr mad pulls , i just want to the right engine for my body type

 

1. welcome to the forum.

2. SEARCH is the best thing ever invented. thats why Yahoo and Google are so big, SEARCH engines. learn how to use it.

3. # 2 would answer you question.

 

YoU B3st be repp1n teh b18c y0!

 

what about the tranny on the gsr, isnt it a longer gear ratio compared to the b16?

 

the gears ratios are longer but not by much than a b16, but you cant go wrong with a 1.8

 

Use a b18c with a b16 tranny. Thats what I had in my vx hatch. You get the best of both worlds.

 

how much did it cost for the b16 tranny
and i was wondering on both engines when their vtec kiks in

 

Both are good motors, but go with the b18c. But wait, are you talking about a GSR b18c1, JDM GSR, or a JDM ITR b18c?

 

the jdm gsr

 

Ya, Its uber fucing hella dope ****!
