this is the situation. should i wont to go vtec but i dont know if i should get a b16 or get a gsr engine. i really need others input in this situation. if you have something bad to say dont say anything at all.

 

gsr

 

Thanks

 

gsr!!!

 

GSR

 

Why would you even compare if you have the choice between a gsr and a b16? Haha...gsr ftw for sure...Just make sure you do your homework before going and buying the first gsr that comes across your path.

B16A2:
Compression- 10.2.1
Rod Length- 134 mm
Horses-160 / 111 lb-ft
Redline- 8200 / VTEC 5400

B18C1-
Compression- 10.0.1
Rod Length- 137.9 mm
Horses- 170 / Torque 128 lb-ft
Redline- 8100 / VTEC 4400

b18c: (jdm gsr, 'spec r')
Compression- 11.1.1
Rod Length- 137 mm
Horses- 197 / Torque 127 lb-ft
RevLimit- 8600 / VTEC 5800

 

Yeah i kno thanks and i will im not the type of person to just buy the first gsr i see.

 

Yeah thanks i always look into the stuff i buy.

 

K24, b series are for boost

 

Boost drops panties. I have an 84mm Gsr but for some reason I have a hankerin to build an 84mm B16. I like the shorter stroke of the b16 because of the revs it can handle. Over all I would say a Gsr tho.

 

why not a h22

 

Cause when h22's tank, there is no saving them!

And i am pretty sure not everyone can just drop everything and do a k24..haha...Though I wouldnt mind doing one myself...Maybe by next HT meet...

 

Cant do a k swap. Maybe when i get stationed!

 

save the sohc!!

 

When you are ready to make a purchase let me know. Ive got a full GSR and H22 swap available.

 

i have a k24 eg and a DD...

oh and i'm in college and make only 9/hr at my part time job, all bout how ya hustle

 

k24's are for boost :D b series are for boost lag lol.

 

i make 9.65/hr and i can barely buy headers....sad

 

Of the two, GSR for sure. My own choice would differ a bit, though, and here's why:

If it's your first build, I'd avoid VTEC for now for the sake of simplicity. If not, disregard the rest of the post (or read it anyway to find out what and why I'm building).

I'm on my first build and I'm just doing LS turbo. Not gonna mess with VTEC yet because it's one more thing that can break, though unlikely, and it's gonna be my daily driver. I guess the fact that there's already a mostly stock B18B1 motor in my Civic kinda influenced my decision to build another of the exact same motor as well It'll be mostly plug and play because of this. If I want to go VTEC in the future then I can put a VTEC head on my LS block. Just gotta tap the oil pan, get the right ECU and wire it up, then get it tuned. I'll probably do VTEC on my next build.

That's just my reasoning behind my own build. Take it as you wish, I just hope that some insight is gained.

 

Us college kids gotta keep ballin on that budget! Haha

 

Atmosfear, if you wanna trade me your gsr trans for my b16 let me know. I'm dying for longer gears but don't want to bog it down too much with an LS trans. let me know if you'd be down to trade.
