If a stock B16B and a stock B18C1 were racing would the extra 5 hp from the CTR or the extra 16 lb ft torque from a GSR be faster ? Im contemplating about which motor im more interested in i have about 3900 to spend.

 

B18C1.

 

yea what he said

 

Just my opinion, but go with a GSR motor. If you're swapping it into a non-GSR, you can register it w/the CA state referee and be legit, plus you'll have the torque of the 1.8

 

what do you want to do with your car? drag race it? road race it? drive it on the street going fast on and off on and off ramps? lap days ? ? ?

 

I'd get the CTR and stroke it to a 1.8.

 

BTW:

I'll clarify/expound upon my reply above once this guy adds key details.

I hope that wasn't to me. I mean come on, what would win, a GSR or ITR motor? The CTR motor is just a destroke ITR motor, so it would be easy to make it perform just as well as an ITR motor(rods, crank I think ).

If I'm wrong, please dont school me too bad Tom! I'm still a newbie!

 

i wanna road race my car , get some spoon cams and gears , itr header , apex N1 cat , aem cai , straightpipe , and then after all that i might do turbo down the road and change some of that

What he said

 

buy the ctr motor, and a cheap gsr shortblock, throw the ctr pistons in the b18block, then sell the b16 block with the gsr pistons to someone who wants to turbo... serious **** right there.

Why do that when you can get a B18 crank?
If someone ever looks under the hood and sees the B16B, they wont know you have a 1.8 crank.

 

go with the 1.8, you will need a little more tq or at least want more tq down low, trust me

 

b18c1 duh!

 

Man, I would seriously go with the CTR motor. If you want a nice motor with OEM parts, the CTR would be perfect. You can change out the crank/rods to stroke it to a 1.8 and beat GSRs all day long.

 

b18c1 holla!!
