type-r is worthless modding. you spend the xtra cash to what? a B18c with a b16a style head(and a few aftermarket style internals that you are going to take out). might as well go with a GSR motor, and build that with the cash you saved. you will come out with more power than a type-r. shoot you could even build a B16 with twice the power of a type-r motor for the same price.
(if anyone flames me for my opinion)
yes i can afford a type-r motor but it's noth worth modding since i paid extra to get a motor that's a basically a GSR bottom/B16a top(with a few goodies inside).
