Type-R has the overall shorter gearing. My tranny has the GSR 4/5 and its extremely noticable when you hit 4th... power(application) just drops.

Re: whats a better tranny gsr v. type r (splitime)
i'll also vouch for the GS-R power drop in 4th-5th 
i'd go with ITR... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=861834

Re: whats a better tranny gsr v. type r (skunkintegra)
i think the gsr tranny is better than the type-r. since the gsr gears are a bit longer than the type-r. just slap in a lsd in the gsr tranny and your good to go. and btw what makes u think 4 and 5 gear u lose power what are u talking about my gsr runs pretty hard in 4th and 5th gear.

USDM ITR cmpared to the USDM GSR is Closer ratio's, same final drive.

The higher the horsepower and torque and the sooner it is available in the powerband, a taller gear can be more suitable (and especially for straight line acceleration) since you won't lose time shifting gears.
It's a toss up for what's actually better for you, your car and the application. But that's the concept.

Re: whats a better tranny gsr v. type r (Soup ****)
unless your car is a highly moded N/A I think the ITR tranny will work best. You won't be making the power needed to make the GSR tranny an advantage.

I know when longer gears can be beneficial. I was asking him though, not Honda-Tech and since we are talking about a B18C5 longer is not going to equal better.
With a GSR tranny you'll also be dropping out of VTEC on the 1-2 shift if I'm not mistaken.

Correct, but he never really mentioned what mods were and or what his plans were totally.
Kyle244947 FYI there are loads of topics on this in the archived posts as to how the R's gearing, changing FD's and whatnot will effect your acceleration, top speed and if it is a good idea for you and drag racing.
