I've never been impressed by poor man's Type-R's. I'll take a B20V instead haha.He's got a poor man's R
My EJ8; my slow build.
- Thread starter crash!
- Start date
GSR block with a b16 head is a poor man's R. A non-v block with a VTEC head is either an LS-V or B20-V
I'm personally a fan.
b20v's are nice if you want n/a, but not recommended if you want boost at all.
id love to turbo poor mans r though

s**t id be happy with a turboed gsr
Even then, I wouldn't be comfortable boosting a stock GSR bottom end past say 10lbs on a t3/t4. They're beefier than their 1.6l cousins, but still not that great for FI. I would go N/A B20V and shoot for a high-rev build.. go for like 280whp
you can only rev as high as your weakest component, so your b20 red line would be your limit for revs unless you upgrade it. and unless the b20/v has work done it wont make 280whp. atleast i havent seen a stock one that has. local near me dynoed right near 200Even then, I wouldn't be comfortable boosting a stock GSR bottom end past say 10lbs on a t3/t4.

a 280whp b20v is a fully built machine. I haven't seen one that high personally, but around the 250-260's. H2B's i've seen around the 280's, but still built up pretty good.
Crash! get off nwp and throw some updates at us!

Right, I didn't mean a stock b20v haha. I think the highest I've seen a stock one go is maybe 200? I probably should have reiterated that post lol. I meant, if I were going to choose between building a poor man's Type-R, or a b20v and going all out on the build, I'd go with a b20v and try to make as much power as possible.
Girl, pull yo s**t together! You needa da lovin you long time!? I love you long time.I don't really have a lot going on right now
This guy.
Jeez what's with you guys? Haha.
I know, I know. I need inspiration. I need drive. I haven't really been myself lately. I was thinking about selling the coupe yesterday morning...
