I read somewhere that the GS-R has a lower compression ratio than the Type R. Is that true? I also read that the Type R has an LSD and the GS-R doesn't. Is that true? If both of those statements are true, could I put the B18C5 head on the B18C1 block and have lower compression that the stock Type R?
yes the b18c1 has a lower compression then the c5 but it is still high (10.1:1 compared to 11.5:1 i believe) i would get low comp pistons before boosting either engine..
