| Post subject: | question about engine |
Hey guys I got a quick question. I don't know much about hondas but I need to ask about this. My little sister bought a 99gsr from her boss. This thing is seriously clean. The car has 20k miles on it and is in perfect condition. It has been modified a little bit. It has type r seats and shift knob and boot, 5 lug wheels, and a couple of other little things. Honda badges all around and everything. I really wanted to buy it from her and give her the ist, but she didn't want it. Anyways back to my question, the enigne. I thought it came with some version of the B18 engine, This thing has a B16A. Is that right. He said he replaced the engine, he preferred the B16 over the B18. Is there a benifit to using the B16 over the B18??? He gave her the original eninge on a cherry picker if she wants to use it instead, I told her I would ask u guys before telling her to sell the motor or not. What do you all think??? |

Ummm, if it is a gsr, its has a b18c, i cant see any b16 being better than a b18c in stock form. maybe a b16 head on the b18c block due to better flow, but idk. i'd guess theres something wrong with the b18 if he did a swap like that. it'd be faster with the gsr in it. gsr is worth more than a b16 also |

GSR > B16. Kinda curious as to what his reasoning is for pulling the B18c in the first place. |

I was wondering the same, he said he liked it better. I thought it was a stupid idea too, I just wanted to ask the experts. Thanks guys |

If she isn't worried about it don't bother swapping it. Just sell the B18c, but I know I wouldn't buy a GSR w/ a B16 in it. Might be worth it for resale to swap it even if she doesn't care as much about performance |

I didn't think it was a good idea either, but she had already bought the car. At least he gave her everything to go with it, but it was just weird to put a B16 in when you had a great B18 in it already. Oh well. I told her what you guys were saying so I think she is gonna put in the B18 and sell the B16 to a friend of hers with a Civic. Just was weird thought I would ask |

Never mind guys. My sister just called me and told me she took the thing to an acura dealership to get the engine changed out and instead bought a TSX. I couldn't belive it, but hey she just got a way cooler car. That is an accord type r in japan right. Any ideas that I can pass on to her for stuff to do. |
