Any advantages at all? Just curious.

 

Torque, but that is about it...and even that is negligible.

 

you can build LS/V from it.

Lower CR is good for turbo.

You can hang out at nonvtec.com

 

Displacement:
LS: 1834 cc
GSR: 1797 cc

Torque:
LS: 127@5000
GSR: 128 @ 6000

Bore x Stroke ( in.)
LS: 3.19x3.50
GSR: 3.19x3.43.

As you can see the LS's torue comes on sooner. That and the wider bore are the only advantages. The B18b is also a prime candidate for boosting, due to the 9.2: 1 CR compared with a GSRs 10.0:1.

yea what he said

 

ls=regular gas(cheap stuff)

gsr=premium gas(expensive stuff)

which one eats more gas, or gets more mpg?

 

while I dont know about the LS. my GSR gets about 300 per tank and that is like 12.5 gallons?

 

LS = longer stroke, not wider bore

 

Both motors have their benefits, but depends on what you want.

In an integra the GSR is a nice combination but if your looking to swap motors in another platform such as a hatchback an LS with a shorter geared tranny is an excellent combination for a daily driver, lots of power down low and fun to drive, cheap gas and inexpensive swap.

Around how much cheaper would you say an ls swap would be compared to a gsr?

 

1000-1500 on average id estimate

thank you. just has a longer stroke which = more displacement and more torque.

12.5? No way. I am 10% from Empty, go to a gas station and fill it up, the pump stops at 9.0 gallons. I got 25/28mpg

uh. except cheaper gas...not really. Probably easier to install a blower.

 

theres a reason the gsr motor costs about 3 times what a LS motor does...

are you gonna make me guess the reason

 

tranny, cams,vtec

 

i wasnt counting the tranny...

why would you need to guess... every part of the gsr motor is better down to the webbing on the block... end of story...

negative part is they cost more.....

 

bragging rights when you spank a gsR... i'm all for the underdog in a race...

Why not just rebuild the ls, up the CR to like 12.5ish and throw really aggressive cams in? That way you can still stay the underdog, and continue to smoke everyone with your nonvtec power.

 

this should clear up the gas tank size

both have same mpg just that gsr need higher octane so you pay more.
