Default Responding to GSR question

What's up champ, my thing is why would you drop a B16, not knocking a B16 cause I have one in my EF hatch, into a GSR which has 170 hp vs 160 . That's like owning a 5.0 Mustang & taking out a V8 & putting in a 4 cyl. That's just backwards. Running a 13 with any B16A1,2 or 3 can't be done. I can see having a CRX installing a B18C1, B18C5 or something, big motor light body. The real way to see different motor swaps in different rides ex: CRX etc. go to the track! Hollar, Gingas

I agree. It is backwards and the heavier chassis of the integra requires more torque than the B16 can put out. It does have more horsepower than the LS motor but the torque is insufficient to move the heavier chassis.

Your point is very well made and I agree that the B16* powerband is a poor match for a DC2. That said, is there really a need to keep this topic open? :dunno:

I kinda doubt it.
