I own a 96 integra special edition my friend just recently got a 96 GSR. I looked up the stats and the GSR has about 6 ft/ibs of torque less than my B18b1 why is that. I am thinking about getting a GSR motor and I definitely don't need to lose any torque. How hard is it to improve the torque of the GSR motor? You would think that you couldn't tell the diff but you can tell his really dosen't start to pull hard untill about 4000 rpms.

 

this will answer all of your questions

you have 20cc's more than him. thats why you have a little more torque. but the GSR is a wayy all around better engine than the b18b1
