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

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.
