i have my sights set on an engine but this time around im not buying another zc i want the best on a budget i want a gsr (b18c) and before i but this i wanna know more about it like whats with the intake system it has how does the whole poor mans type r thing work just curious if somone could clue me in that would be awsome lol

 

1. Do a search, do lots of reading, search for hours even. It's been covered eleventy billion times.

2. Set goals based on a real budget and goals.

3. Gather all parts needed to attain said goal so that **** isn't half assed (too many cars out there like that already)

4. Search some more

 

The B18C is very popular....

- strong block and makes more tq than smaller engines!
- reliable
- proven performance

I wouldn't worry about the intake manifold much, many people back to a single stage to keep things simple. As far as a poor man type R, really, it just means run better cams and bumping up compression....means more power

 

the gsr in stock form isnt too great of a motor, but it does have its attributes. My buddy and I raced a while back, my LS vs his GSR, and it was even every race. If youre on a budget and also want vtec, get an LS motor and put a gsr/b16 head on it and youll be making the same power if not more than the gsr would in stock form. If I had 1000 bucks for a swap id go the ls/vtec route, only because the ls is cheap and easy to come by.

 

i was originally leaning towards a gsr, but now i've decided my money would be better spent on a 2nd gen jdm b20b.

 

Great choice, i love this engine!! Cheap and make wicked power

 

it has vtak

 

what do you mean back down to single stage how is this done and why

 

meaning changing out the dual runners of the gsr intake manifold to a skunk2 or blox intake manifold making it look like a b16 or type R head and also making it flow better.

 

so eliminating the secondaries pretty much/\.

 

hmm alright i understand that

 

yea basically just doing that.

 

Or just go for the H22a swap
