there is a price difference but it makes it well worth it , with the R if ur buying complete swap ull get and LSD tranny, better cams, higher compression, better tranny(gear ratios) with lighter flywheel, jdm header, better flowing head and higher revving valvetrain. price difference alone says do it!

Yeah, GSR. You can port the head better. The factory kills the port on those heads.

This is like comparing apples and orangesI like the type R myself. We have had much succes with those motors as well as gsr too. Honestly it really doesnt matter though. I have done gsr that run very strong and type R as well. you can name just about every single popular honda engine and people have gone fast with them. like b series. h series d series. just build it right. and more importantly tune it right, have the car setup right, and get alot of seat time and it will run well. good luck!

type r, you get a lot of extra goodies that the gsr doesn't have and you get a lot for what your paying for

Yep, good answer. I swapped in the type r and I love it...but thats all I wanted to run. Not interested in going f/i. Now I will do some other things for tuning purposes and maybe some juice at some point but overall its a pretty strong motor and when you get it around 5500 to 9000 it screams.

If I were you, I would get the GSR and then spend the extra money on valve springs, cams, CTR pistons, Venom IM, and Quaife LSD. You will smoke the R anytime.

Depends on what your goals are. Still, the R is a better deal pretty much anyway you look at it.

Yeah usually the more money you pour into a motor the faster it will be...

But if you want to be Smart about it keep it stock internally and you will see less problems down the road.

...get the type r
