Poor-Man Setup
 

I want to build a poor man's Type R, im not really familar with this setup but I do know that it takes a gsr block w/ a b16 head. I need to know what ecu I will need and can I use any b-series tranny? Im not quite sure which shell ill be using, but I think I want to go w/ either a ef hatch or a eg hatch. Im pretty sure that if I go w/ the ef , I want to stay away from the dx models...My question is what will I need to do a complete swap into a hatch wether it be a ef or eg.......

Thanx, Tyler

what is the benefit of a B16 head on a GSR block?

Re: Poor-Man Setup
 

I recommend getting a chipped ecu and actualy tuning it so it will run up to par.

Sounds good, but which ecu should I go with??

Re: Poor-Man Setup
 

If I remember correctly, Poor man's typeR is this:
*B16 Head with R cams
*ITR/CTR intake manifold
*B18C1 block with R pistons and crank
*B16 tranny (for short gearing)
*Red valve cover.... ha ha

If you really think about it, those parts are hard to get. It'll be so much easier and better to build an LSVTEC with aftermarket pistons/rods/bearings. You'll have more potential on making more power, especially if tuned... as mentioned above.

chipped/socketed P28/P72

I only have about 1800 to 1900 to spend, and thats only if I can find a good shell I like for 1000

Re: Poor-Man Setup
 

If you don't have a shell, then you probably don't have enough money.

Re: Poor-Man Setup
 

Would I have enough for Ls/Vtec?? or just a standard Gsr
