New Kid on the Block
Hi guys. I'm a 19 year old college student planning on buying a 99-01 Acura Integra. Now, I know that when I get my money right, I will boost it. With that said, should I get the GS-R or the Type R? 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?
