just remember its not just the engine thats the difference between a ITR and VTIR...

theres' suspension work, chasis work, exhaust etc
so just doing the engine swap wouldnt make it a Type R

Why bother? save your money and just mod your car abit.
Typer R's arn't that much better then vtirs

yea, vtir block has much more potential then a type r block.
spend the 7 or so grand for the conversion on making an original and uber quick vtir.

thats the first time i've heard that. afaik, the vti-r is slightly inferior to the type-r in just about every aspect. much like the rest of the vehicle. it's easy to catch up and go past them though. you just need to spend money on the right bits and not waste effort "trying shit out" like i did

i.e. do it right the first time and you'll love it.

just build up the existing motor if you are not after a whole new car. shelling out for a type-r motor and transmission isn't really good value for money.

ginanggooly, i'm not using facts to back myself up, but aint the itr block a board bored?! i donno how to spell b16 block, thats been enginered ect, running at higher stress then a b18c block from the vtir, hence more potential as more cc. ?!
idonno im' just guessing.

work on the internals of the vtir b18c2 engine and u will surpass the type r b18c7..

nope...

the bare blocks are the same, they use better parts in the type-r's
