like the title says, which one would you prefer? of course the gsr has a greater hp but the crv has greater torque. with sufficient internal fortification and pushing 10psi on either engine, which would you guys go with? kinda curious what the general opinion is...

Thanks

hmm i might have posted this before and if I have, sorry. I post on several civic sites. :biggrin:

I would choose the GSR, but you dont see many beefed up CRV's. It gets old seeing the same stuff all the time.

gsr is better for the turbo setup, sure poeple have it done....but its not really common

Just curious, why do you say the gsr is better for turbo?
Thanks

GSR is a "performance car" & the CRV is a SUV. There would a whole more work to do the CRV right, where GSR is a great starting platform.

Its easier to make a "fast" car faster, than it is to make a slow car fast.

Not that I think a stock GSR is fast, when its stocks & runs 13.50 1/4 then its fast to me. 5 seconds is a whole lot better :bigthumb:

i think he means making a CRVtec engine and turboing it....its usaually a SI head, crv longblock and gsr tranny...its a great combo...it think it throws u in the mid 14's if im not mistaken
