the only thing i like about either of the motors are the heads

 

Isn't the ITR engine a b18c block with the b16 head?

 

Pretty much, thats why a b18c with a b16 head is a poor mans itr.

 

tru dat! lol

 

the funny thing is you lose power when you do this. i love how these idiots think sometimes.

 

Which is why I loove to beat them with my ls motor

 

so then why DOES everyone do it??

 

misinformation

 

.....the cams, the cams are why. gsr cams have more lift and duration then b16/b17 cams do. but then, ctr and itr cams are more agressive then that even. and im pretty sure that the valves and springs are stronger too. but, a gsr head does not flow as well as a b16 head does NA, but, under boost, a gsr head is more ideal because of the shape of the combustion chamber and i think the ports are different too, but, they also yield a higher compression. so, in my opinoin a true poor mans itr should atleast have the same valvetrain, other wise its nothing like an itr/ctr head

 

Your right,it is a hatch,but I ment from the civic models as in coupe's and hatch's,the CTR is a hatch.
