b18c1 with ctr pistons, ctr cams, and possibly a golden eagle intake manifold...the pistons would bump compression up to 12.0

or

b18c5 stock....

in a ek hatch..i'm trying to decide on setups..thanks

 

if you must chose one out of those 2, I would go for GSR.

But for a heavy EK, H22 sounds better to me. especially n/a.

If you change the stock manifold to say a Skunk2.The first one for sure as long as it's built/tuned correctly.I personally think the b18c5/R is overrated.The tranny will also play a critical part.

 

i'd go with the gsr and instead of golden eagle go with skank2, yes skank2 manifold. no matter which setup you go with suspension/weight/gearing ratio and most importantly experience of the driver...you can have a jun/spoon built motor and no experience and cant break into 13's with less than 200whp.

keep in mind bigger is never better.

the gsr will definately be faster...

 

personally if they were the same amount of $ then i would get the R motor. the only differences in power adders seem to be the 1.5 or so bump in cr and slightly more duration on the cams. there wouldnt be a huge difference in power between these 2 setups and personally id rather have the r motor. its a better platform to build from, the crank is better, the rods are better, valve train is better, lighter valves, better exhaust and intake springs. the r blocks are also all assembeled by hand to ensure build quality. basically your lookin at maybe 10hp difference maybe? now there are people out there that are making 200 whp on stock b18c5 blocks...

 

i thought the valves in the b18c5 were the same as the gsr valves?

 

gsr will be faster

 

if you retain the gsr tranny without lsd for the built gsr swap, i think the type r swap will be faster no question.

 

the valves are lighter but the same size. retainers are the same though

ah ok. thanks for clearing that one up for me

 

If the price is the same...I would take the ITR motor.

 

price isnt even close to being the same

 

ok well what are the prices gonna be? i would tell ya to take the R motor but if its 1k more than the gsr i would tell ya to take the gsr

how would you make a gsr faster than a type r for 1k dollars (n/a)...just curious to see what you'd say....?

 

cheaper to build the B20vtec i think!
