hahahah 1 hour ago me nad my bud just cruzin around the town and i see a tegi all riced up on the plates it says intrg T so im thinkin hmm a turbo lets see if the guys got balls we stop on a red my bud revs up( audi a4 3.2 255hp 2006) he starts reving it up too turns green the guy chocks up:|


and the moral of that sotry is Ricers suk

 

If you want LS/VTEC, pay to have it built...don't try it yourself if you haven't built an engine from the ground up before--

LS/VTEC was my original plan, but the shell for the project was stolen...some guys drove through my garage door, and towed a ROLLING SHELL...still even had the steelies on it...I have a GSR swapped EG hatch now...and the boost can't get here soon enough!!!!

 

which car has a lighter chasis?

 

no its not... but the GSR does have a bit more cheaper/potential than the R. the GSR is not a Type R, about the only the same on both engines is the block which is the same casting. other than that, everything else is different. IMO its stupid to turn a GSR into a type R, with the amount of money you spend coverting, the Head, Manifold, Trans, Crank, etc... U might as well have bought one.

ive never built an engine before and i built a crvtec setup and its exactly the same thing:thinking:all i did was looked up the info *tons online* if i had trouble asked around the net/local shops, and a couple of weeks later i did it. everything is setup for you already, oil lines, rod bolts, head studs, etc...I say u give it a shot, u dont learn a thing unless u try it....

EDIT: when i say everything is setup, i meant everything can be bought for u already to have that setup

 

I thought a ITR has higher compression than a GSR?!?

 

it does, hes saying the GSR has a lower compression reading>you :chuckles: h:

 

lol... I read it backwards or something.

 

b16b seems like a unique swap....not much more than b16 or gsr power wise, dunno if there are any downfalls to the b16b....i personally am gonna go ls/vtec in the end, starting with b18b and addin b16a head

 

unique? sure, power bout the same? sure ill give u that, but torque is compared to a GSR

its a debored b18C type R with the same price range:down:

 

Only thing I left off 'bout the differences was that the Type R head has a slightly more ported head from the factory...--they just smoothed out imperfections in the casting more so from the factory in the Type R head than they did in the GSR head...other little things, like stronger valves and rods ( shot peened rods in the type R, right? ) so type R has a grand more on the tach...and a different intake manifold...

wasn't saying they were the same, just that they're on the same base, and that its possible to convert a GSR to a type R--didn't say it was cost effective either...but with aftermarket parts, and a gsr, say, skunk 2 and weisco pistons, manley street rods-not the turbo tuff, the cheaper ones( like 200 I think ) --------------gsr block and head, bare except for sensors/solenoids, water/oil pump--skunk: intake manifold, valve train, and stage 1 n/a cams, all you would need to do to complete a type R conversion ( besides the tranny, I like GSR gears ) is paint the valve cover red...

or leave it black and then you have a GSR that's faster than a type R


It's not cheap, but possible

Also, you / I are quite mechanically inclined...was just suggesting that if he's not familiar with engine building, or would be attempting an LS/VTEC at home, with out ALL the proper tools, as many people do, that he may decide to pay the $550 or so that the ls/vtec coversion costs...( at the shop I use anyway ) www.attituderacing.com
