Hello everyone.. i just wanted to know if buying a GSR is a good idea. I have around close to 18 000$ (canadian) to spend on a car. Obviously second hand. Any suggestions??!!! i have GSR and SRV in mind so far... and if other car why and when i buy it what should i do first... CAUSE IM GOING FOR TURBO DEFINETLY>

i'm no expert on this subject, but i think you're better off just getting an LS if you're gonna go the turbo route. i'm pretty sure the stock compression is too high on a gsr so you'd have to mess with that first.

 

actually the gsr is very nice for boost.

 

Is it??? cause im pretty sure that turbo wont be a problem since my friend is gonna turbo charge his Integra Type R.. cool thanks for the input.. so i guess i should go with the GSr then

 

how about a mr2 turbo???

 

If I could start all over, I would get an LS.

Hmmm Mr2?? well hmmmm (confused) really didnt think about Mr2 twin turbo... thanks

Well i mean why buy a LS>??!! the shocks struts, nothing is done to that care.. everything has to be done to it. I mean ..at least GSR has decent strusts and rims and shocks doesnt it when u buy it?!!

 

Yeah that's true. The GS-R does offer better over stock but most likeyl you're gonna replace everything. The LS could be bought for cheaper and with some change, upgrades would be easlier.

 

Gsr is nice for boost. Type-R is supposed to be less boost friendly but could be due to the fact that many of the R owners are hardc0 about being all-motor.

6psi on a B18b vs 6psi on a B18C1, which one will make more power?

Thanks for the reply Shingoblad and John-GSR,, John wouldnt be more expensive buying the Ls and building it from scrape?!!?

Thanks Shingoblade makes more sense to me now as well...

 

Not in the long run.. I assume that you'll start changing/ replacing a lot of parts so it won't make that much of a difference in the long run.. Hopefully in the short term though, you can save some money on the initial purchase of the car.

With the same boost, GS-R will make more power.

 

FYI, MR2's are single turbos.

 

hmm...is an integra really what you want... why not a hatch(ek/eg) and make it into a krazie hybrid! just my opinon. I have two integras and man payments OWN me

 

i have a gsr and if i was you id get a hatchback or sumthin small..they r cheap and with a engine swap and turbo wow...u wont be touched

 

The reason I said LS; I was reffering to my self, but stock for stock the gsr would make more power. In the long run I beleive the LS is a better deal.
1)cheaper initial investement
2)Lower compression
4)Ls gears are better for boost
3)About the shock, struts, tower braces etc etc, Most people are gonna upgrade anyway, one thing the gsr has is the vtec. But if you are serious in the b18b, you can built it into some serious beast.

 

Thank you Goofball mr2's are single turbo
WTF, MajinBuu who would ever think that mr2's were twin turbo

 

guys trust me on this Majinbuu hates civics, dont even bother to suggest him to get any hatchback cars, and when he says hes going for turbo that mean just a little boost, we are not talking about over 10 PSI my R is prolly going to be 8psi , just dont want to hurt the engine...

majinbuu - u know who is waiting for you to get money to buy boost together, so hurry up

 

MajinBuu who had a mazda mx3 with 626 V6 engine swaped but totaled it coz some bitch ran the lights and hit him....

After

 

haaahahhaha, dude that before and after pic had me going there.
I was like "this dood converted his type-r to a mazda mx3????wtf???"

Then I noticed the mx3 in the background.

 

did your buddy beat the bitch that ran the light senseless?!? i would be so damn pissed off if i spent so much time on my car and some bitch totalled it.

 

i see violence posted so often as the solution to car problems. so many young men, so much testosterone. and its not like I'm some 50-year-old making this observation: I myself am a 16 year old male.

The only advantage is point #1.

 

You would'nt be pissed if someone totaled your car!?!?!

 

I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't talk about killing people or beating people up. Its just a car, that's what insurance is for, and what is getting loud and angry going to do? I think it is stupid when two people get in an *accident* and one of them starts bitching the other out. Come on, they must feel bad already.
