    Type R no good for boost because of their Compression 11.1:1 against the GS-R 10.1:1

    but whats alredy been said is very true... both great cars

    only way to really determine what which one is what your gonna do with it...

    That is a lie there. I know of two that are boosted and have no problems.

    If you really want to get down to the differences and which one would be better to build then Talk to Mike (Vteckidd). Also he will tell you that a high compression motor can be boosted. It is all in the tuning.

THE TRANSMISSION IS GEARED ALOT SHORTER TO KEEP THE REVS UP WHERE THE POWER IS. ALSO THE ITR HAS AN LSD TRANS SO BOTH WHEELS PULL EVENLY TO THE GSR'S ONE WHEEL SPIN. THE BRAKES ARE HUGE ON AN ITR. GSR'S ARENT MUCH BIGGER THAN A CIVIC DX. ALSO ITR'S HAVE LARGER CONTROLL ARMS AND 5 LUG INSTEAD OF 4 LUG. THERE IS A HUGE BRACE UNDER BACKSEAT THAT ACTS LIKE A ROLL BAR. PLUS F/R UPPER STRUT BRACES AND A REAR BODY PANEL BRACE AND MUCH LARGER SWAY BARS AND REINFORCEMENTS. THE R WILL SMOKE THE GSR IN ACCELERATING,CORNERING, BRAKING AND LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS WITH ITS NEAR PERFECT BALANCE
    600lbs??? what the hell could you take off a honda to make it 600lbs lighter? We have two completely stripped honda challege prepped del sols and couldn't get that much weight off before the full cages...and ITR's are no where near stripped.

    The rev limiter is just under 8,700 on the ITR...i think mine is 8,622 with a '98 OBD2a P73 ECU.

    The brace under the seat is on the GS-R and ITR, i think it's more for safety then making the chassis rigid...i pulled mine out and saved about 30lbs.

    ...tell that too anotherRRR that's running 10's in his...compression is nothing a deck plate and pistons won't fix. Overall the B18C5 is a better engine to start with but you have to pay the price for it.

    600lb is wayyy off, even gutting your interior won't take off 600lb, but either way go get a R dude, you won't regret it, except when insurance kicks your ass.
