Gsr or type r? Can't decide for my 93 hatch Dx. It is my dd but I wanna keep decent mileage but want more power without boost.

If you want a good balance in power and fuel economy, my recommendation would be to get a GSR and keep it stock minus intake and exhaust. I daily drive mine and it get's out of it's own way, but maintains between 31 to 34 MPG even though I abuse the hell out of it.

I drove a GSR and I dd my B16A hatch.

I know my B16A ain't as fast as a B16B but I can tell you that it doesn't have much torque under 4k rpm. With my AC on it feels like a turtle.

The GSR that I drove felt like it had more torque in the lower end which made a big difference compared to my B16A.

I would rather get the B18C for daily driving. Unless you just want to have a "Type R" motor.

Thanks. I was kinda leaning towards Gsr but wanted some opinions

gsr has lots of get up and go and gets great gas mileage, you could always put a ls transmission as well to save a bit more fuel on the highway.

I dont really do a lot of highway driving so the ls transmission wouldnt really matter. But this car will be autocrossed once in a while. The price difference from the gsr and type r are just crazy. I cant justify spending $500-1000 more just for type r. Im gonna go with the gsr. Now its just a waiting game until money starts flowing in again. Thanks again guys. This site has definately been more help than Honda-tech ever was.

GSR has more torque with good start to drop it in your civic
I have been researched about it lately o:

I have a jdm gsr with a few bolt ons and an s80 lsd tranny. Gets about 30-32 mpg averaged highway and city. Love the hell out of it. Just my .02 cents.

Definitely GSR. No replacement for displacement. GSRs are really nice, cause with very few bolt ons (I/H/E) + remap you get a pretty decent result (something like 150 at the wheels, which is quite good, with a lot of torque).

Alright thanks guys. Im currently trying to get my new shell hauled to my house. And waiting on phone calls back to get a job. My new shell is already stripped down so I can do wire tuck when I put the body harness back in, but Im looking for a 92 harness or 93-95 ex/si harness. I decided that Im going to buy a seperate vehicle to haul my kids in since Im building my civic. I want my babies safe. And have more steel in the car lol
