Originally posted by Brad Pitts View PostThe gearing in a ctr is also way diff. It keeps the motor in the power band. N really 10lb of tq is not gonna make a big diff. If you worried about tq build a b20 vtec. You put a b16b n a gsr in same car witg same mods n the ctr will win
Whatever you say man, fact is you're hitting vtakz alot earlier with the gsr AND hitting peak whp and tq alot sooner than with that DE-stroked type r motor. On top of that I'd be willing to bet that a GSR with some bolt on's will make the power gap even bigger, even if they had the same mods.
There is a reason why you almost never see that swap, its too expensive for what it is.
Hell even if for some reason that thing maginally beat the gsr, you could take that 1k or so you saved by getting the GSR and get the type r transmission with the slightly better gearing and LSD.Dude... My nissan has like a v8, man.

Your not hittin vtec sooner because vtec crossover is at the same rpm @5500-5800 the ctr will reach it sooner because of its shorter gearing. The reason it costs more is because it was made in alot less numbers. For the money the gsr is a better buy but given a choice the ctr is a better motor. Honestly a plan ol b16 can get you plenty fast. The .2 diff in displacement doesnt really matter. It can be had for less than gsr. Its also been proven that a well built b16 will run just as good as gsr.
I have a friend that.use to run a eg hatch with stock internal b16 turbo n ran consistent high 10s low 11s till it eventually blew. There has also been a b16 with ctr pistons n ctr cams with ported.head revin to 10k make 200whp on 91oct.
Honestly if I was buildin a honda for drag/street id build a h2b setup. The power n tq of h22 but with better b series transDSDone

A b16a makes about 140whp on a dynapack dyno, 130 on mustang.
No way you are getting 60-70 whp on a 1.6L with OEM pistons, OEM cams, and some porting.Dude... My nissan has like a v8, man.
