poormans type r

[darkracer88]

wat exactly is a poormans TYPE-R i hear that its a gsr block wit b16 head or a gsr block wit Type-r head and wat is the best ecu 2 use with it

[Freeway]

PMTR is a gsr block with a B 16 head and type R pistons, if you can get a R head then I guess you could call it a type R. Just my two cents.. As Far as the best ECU....probably a JDM R computer... but tuning it would be the best bet.

I am doing one on the side and I'll let you know how it works out:D

still missing the crank, and rods so not an R yet. P28 or P72 no matter what setup you are using

Poor mans Type R,

Is a Stock gsr bottom end and a b16 head.

The idea is that you've got a reliable bottom end capable of high revs, and a 16 head is the exact same mold of the type R head, the only difference is whats in side. Most people do the b16 head with type r cams and call it a day.

If your going to start buying pistons and swapping out internals, your defeating the purpose of a poormans type r, as far as an ECU goes, if both head and bottom end are stock you can get away with a gsr, ifyou do type r cams, the usdm type r ecu will do just fine.


FYI, Poor mans type R never did any justice.

to tell you the truth....i knew a kid who had a legitly buiilt poor mans type r in an ek coupe that was tuned and all good.....that sucker had some power....no boost or spray...all type r ************ for internals gsr block...type r head with skunk valvetrain....that ************ moved....alot more that my lsvtec with type r internals

of course its going to make power with type r internals :), but then again... your defeating the point of a poormans type r
