the gs-r swap is only 200 more? if so go for that!

but if u meant to say its $2,000 for the b18c1 and 1200 for the b16a2 then id go w/ b16 and the saved 800 could go for internals or a nice turbo setup.

well i mean just a stock swap, whats a better motor GSR or SI? like whats there weaknesses and strenths, and which is a overall better motor for turbo or N/A?

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

the gsr has 20-25 ft lbs of tq on the b16.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

why are gsr's so over rated. i think the b16 is all you need. my friend has a civic si and he almost always beats a gsr! i say go b16, use extra $$ for rods and pistons or standalone fuel management. when turboed i dont really see much of a difference. all the gsr's i see are just as fast as civic si's, mostly i see the si win. so why waist the extra dough?

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

hmm sounds like a strong arguement

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

the gsr has more potential in my opinion because of the extra displacement

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

I vote for the GSR also.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

gsr, everyone and his momma has a b16

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

I vote for the B16 :).
cheaper and with the $800 extra bucks you can invest in a standalone and that gives you better tuning..and you can get more power and efficiency. although the GSR has better R/S I think...it's you decision..the GSR does have a different head design and intake mani than the other B-series. If you are choosy Do some research and get what better suits you

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

B16 has a better R/S 1.74 compared to the GS-R 1.6?
B16 is a little bit lighter and has more potential, far more than the GS-R. Plus you save 800 bucks. Use that money for some serious management and you will not even think about that little 200cc difference when your boosting 10 pounds and running better times.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

...there's no replacement for displacement..go with tha 1.8

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

haha my friend was saying that last night.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

b16 my opinion

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

I think that it really depends on what you are setting up for. You may not need more than the B16, but I agree with the displacement argument. You could even stroke to a 2.0. I say just look at what you are wanting to do with the car.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

There is replacement for displacement, it is called tuning, and boost. Having a bigger engine isn't all its cracked up to be.

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

i agree, bigger isnt always better......those b16's will suprise the hell out of a gsr. Seriously, gsr's are NOT that much faster if any!! for the extra cash, you get bigger displacement but does it really matter when you're still neck and neck with a b16??......if you want to waste the $$, go for it, but i still say b16

Re:GSR Turbo Swap Or SI Turbo Swap????
 

ok guys thats alot i appriciate it, i bought the b16 and bought internals, there getting put in as we speak, thanks alot!!
