Prove otherwise.

The lower compression of the LS will take more boost to be on the same power level as a GSR or Type R motor, but in stock form they will handle the same amounts of power.

No, it really isn't. You just bought yourself an overpriced GSR.

B18C5 = Type R

i hope this dude didn't tell you it was a Type R. Whats you VIN#? Do it have a DC2 associated in it somewhere? If the answer is yes, you bought yourself a GSR.

Dont worry man im not that stupid, my uncle who is an Honda Technician was with me to test drive the car, and it is an B18C5 with nealry 39,000 miles. the 10,500 was ok by me, its an GSR with an Type-R front End , and some other light mods. when i install the body kit, wheels and spoiler i will post some pics for sure.

So which one is it
"i just got my first car an 1998 Type-R,"
or
GSR


First of all your unsure as to which engine you have and since your uncle is a " honda tech " he should know right away which i doubt.


this thread is great!...lol
