is it true that with install of I\H\E that the gsr is just about as fast as the typeR?

 

doubt it, but it depends on the driver. last friday at the 1.8 legals i saw an civic si smoke a type r! terrible

 

 

1.8 legals? Si's are 1.6's. i've never been to the track so i dont know how that works. i wish that fvckhead in the ITR would hand over his car to someone who knows how to drive.

 

i meant 1/8 legals. the track is 1/8 hehe not a 1.8 motor.

 

no....i think gsrs will need a wee bit more than that. with IHE...good gsrs might run high 14s.....:dunno:

 

well my friend has a 95 gsr with comptech icebox,catback exhaust, chikara header(the torqued one) and aem pullies and a mid pipe and he runs 14.5 in the quarter...he ran a 14.7 with just i/h/e and pullies so yes.

 

Depends on the driver. You'd also need a hi-flow cat if you want to think of even hanging.

But looking solely at power differences, a I/H/C/E gsr still has less power than a bone-stock R. Now aside from power, the Type-R weights roughly 100+- lbs less and has a tighter gearbox. The front LSD isn't designed for drag racing but I'm sure it helps the car hook-up. So my answer would be no.

with I/H/E, a GSR is only .2-.5 secs faster than stock, you'll need a lot of engine work or go FI to beat an ITR since ITR is lighter, more HP and TQ, and its equipped with LSD to helps the car launchs faster.

 

I know someone that runs a 9.1 through the 1/8 consitently, I've seen him run an 8.97 a few times.
95 GSR
ITR cams, skunk2 IM, clutch, flywheel, I/h/e, spoon transmission (4.7FD). His car was slightly gutted (no backseat or spare tire area). This is one of the faster allmotor integras I've seen, he hasn't ran it in the 1/4 but hopes to see high 13s. That tranny made the most difference.
