Sorry I have to disagree and when the PDF comes up you’ll see what I mean as it does show the torque curve for both the GSR and Type R engines. It also substantiates my claim that a Type R engine makes the power that it does over the GSR because of the higher red line.[/quote]What are you disagreeing about?
The b18c5 doesnt make more horsepower solely from a higher redline. Its not like you could make the gsr redline that high and it would make the same hp. Its torque is dropping off much more on that top end by comparison.
Appreciate the pdf. This feels like 2000 all over again. 🙂
as a side note. The 99/00 Si with a b16 had EXACTLY the same gear ratios as the ITR, but did not have an lsd.

The cars dont really lack low end torque in comparison to the top end…if you check a dyno out they have flat torque across the board.
its just a function of a small displacement engine. they just dont make a lot of torque period.
combined with the shorter gear ratios its plenty for a lighter car around town. Its just different if you are used to a bigger engine that can pull out of a corner at 3000rpm. You have to adjust your driving style for a high hp screamer.
I cant wait for this pdf. any other itr/gsr/civic Si material from back then you can provide the better 🙂
