whats the difference with the JDM and USDM gsr motor?

how much difference in hp and torque?

does the JDM use different parts for maintenance or repairs?

whats the difference with the JDM gsr and JDM ctr?

 

Search.

 

did you do any research? research buddy. anyways i'll tell you some basics.

jdm motors are stronger than usdm motors. jdm gsr has like 10 more hp than usdm. jdm gsr has higher compression than usdm gsr. the engine code is b18c(same as jdm itr). usdm gsr engine code is b18c1(b18c5 for itr). maintenance is pretty much the same.

 

i love it when people try to go big with this b series swap and they have no idea what there getting into

 

welcome to honda tech chief. and isnt this the point of having a forum?
dont throw stones when you live in a glass house.

yes yes?

 

yeah but you cant get help on this without getting flamed!!! b series are overrated

 

nobody is BORN knowing. i'm sure we've all needed help at some point or another. like he said he's a Noob.

i've got a jdm b18c (jdm)

 

im dropping 10K into my B18B, then going to swap it into my EK...WITH CA smog and obd2. call me stupid, call it a waste, but i love my EK and i am happy with the progress and will be happy with the results.

 

you have to start somewhere. you were in my shoes before too. so if you dont want to help then dont reply.

 

This is what forums are for home skillet. To ask for help!!!!


Im sure youve asked a few stupid questions before.

 

im not calling you stupid or anything. its just getting old that everyone doing a b series swap all the time. thats all you hear about this days. i love my ek too and its progess. im not hating on you or anything

 

your putting 10k into a ls and it still pass smog and obd2? i mean im on the east coast so i dont know 100% but isnt that kinda hard to do? Delaware doesnt care about emmisions. lol

 

people should not throw stones regardless of housing situation...

 

yeah, i dont know if its entirely possible. but im bored and the wife bothers me to much so i need an excuse to be in the garage...

 

ha ha thats great. good luck to you then.

 

lmfao

 

K series engines are way overpriced, and I couldn't afford one.

An F/H series doesn't allow the use of AC or power steering in an EG/EK, without fabrication apparently. I have heard that maintainance is a pain due to their size, although I have never had the opportunity to see for myself. For value, power wise, I think the "G23" is the best. K series power at 1/3 the price according to what I have read.

The B seems like a very logical choice for a swap though, at least to me. They aren't the most powerful, but they have potential and power output should be enough for most of us. There seems to be enough room in the engine compartment and if one chooses, AC and power steering can easily be hooked up. The price isn't too bad. Parts and information are abundant.

The D series just gets no love at all. Every month or so I see one for sale on Craigslist under $200. If I was into forced induction, I'd build a turbo D for my car.

 

You should be the last person to talk about going big and having no idea on what u r getting into. You still playing with the D series engines doing NOOB questions about D series "mini swaps" in ur little ek. If you don't have anything good to give to the OP please contain yourself from posting.

 

There is no JDM GSR engine. The B18C (non-R) came from the Integra SiR and Si VTEC.

So its:
B18C (non-R) has 10.6:1 compression giving it +10 hp over the USDM motor.
B18C1 (USDM) has 10:1 compression
The parts are the same (pistons are different) so you can use B18C1 parts on your JDM B18C.

 

lmao.. funniest smart *** comment ive ever read.

 

whats with the hate on the b's? I'm planning on going ls, b/c I want the torque. Not clowning on the d's, love them, but I wanna try something new. Hell there is a reason they change the engines in newer cars, and not keep them the same. Change is gonna happen, you don't have to hate b/c others don't see your view.

 

so to those that think B series is overrated, what is better? K? H? F?

 

lol get this, most of them rock d's
