Not oil starvation, rather the cat breaks apart and gets sucked into the engine. With a header, they are pretty reliable. My friend is on his third (IIRC) in his and now has a header. Other problem he had, the screws in the butterfly valves were loose, one came off and went into a cylinder, he had to get the broken spark plug out, but it didn't cause any real damage.

Oh by the way.. it is a stick shift.. He will be getting it this week sometimes, another problem is the track closed..  , He will probobly want to race me on the street.. I dont know if I should back down, cuz you guys say that GSR is faster.. and eather way I back down or lose a race he will talk [censored] for as long as I know him... HE HATES FORD, BUT LOVES HONDA/ACURA.. oh and he said its not stock, he wont tell me what its got until he doesent beat my "FORD" in a race.  I will post the results as soon as we race, which will be this week, he dont know for sure which day he getting it.. maybe tomorrow, if his dad decides to go out tomorrow and buy it for him.

I've ridden in a friend's hatch with a gsr engine, seemed pretty mod friendly to me.
That's also a good 300+ lbs lighter than an Integra, clocking in at 2400 or less..... 
I will stick by what I say and I see a few of you actually agree, a pre K series Honda motor is not very bolt on mod friendly. I don't know what you nay sayers think you know, but that's just jiffy. Once you get into internal swapping and FI, there's definitely potential. Hell, I would kill for an EG with a B18c1 turbo'd. The Civic Si uses the B16 not the B18, and the B18b is not VTEC powaa. The B18(a) and (b) are both DOHC, just not VTEC. the B18(c1) and (c5) are VTEC. The c5 is from the ITR. You guys obviously don't visit the track, where you'll see Civics, Integras, and CRXs running 16s all day and night. Then there are the few who actually know what they are doing, which I respect. The JDM (J-Spec  ) counterparts aren't that much more special, it's just "trendy" to say you have JDM parts.

the b18c1 will still be in the top of second gear pulling when our svt's are nearing the middle of third before the secondaries are openned up again.
If you're racing correctly, the secondaries would be open the whole time. And the Integra would never leave VTEC. Iv'e never raced and shifted at 4k rpm, maybe that's why you lose to Integras....
Regarding the modding wars between the Civic Si and the Sentra SER. They are different machines. The Sentra is also displacing nearly a whole liter more than the Civic. The Civic's B16 is DOHC VTEC and is only 10 hp shy of the B18c1, it creams the B18b by 20 hp. The VQ25 might be a less efficient motor from the factory, hence modding frees up more power. The Honda motors are very efficient, boasting abnormally high specific output. So modding will not go over too well when it comes to bolt ons.

The mods definitely help. Yeah you gotta rev me high, but really you already had to do that... soo.. the mods add power, maybe not down low, but you keep revs up and it goes faster, so mod friendly.

I didn't say the mods (I hate that word) didn't help, I said they weren't as mod friendly as some. Much like the SVTC. Yet, the K series motors...a CAI nets you 20 hp, literally. Try that with a B or D series.  Yes we all know Hondas are rev happy engines, they must be to compensate for their lack of torque. Hondas are PACKED with potential, just not for strictly bolt ons.

3. Plus Power To Weight ratio is in favor of a slightly modded GSR. This All teking into account its a five speed...
4. and Lets not even get started about the J-spec stuff, where most of their counterparts come with a limited slip unit, higher flowing intake and exhaust manifolds and ecu that is tuned for the Japanese everyday 101 octane...
You have NO CLUE what the hell you are talking about!
1. More rpm doesn't mean squat. It's power to weight and the overall power curve.
The power to weight is close. A GSR is between an SE and SVT. Closer to the SVT.
The power curve favors ANY Duratec hands down. No shock there.
2. The secondaries are RPM activated. They will ALWAYS be open above 4100rpm. A shift drops the engine to about 5000rpm in the next gear.
3. Verses what? A stock Duratec. I agree.
An SVT. No way! Compare the actual HP & TQ curves and you'll see exactly what I mean!
4. JDM stuff is not touched by god. A little is better then the norm, but the majority is worse then we get here. I know. I lived there nearly 3 years.
Also Japanese regular is about the same as our 85 octane rating. You are confusing octane rating systems. The US averages both octane ratings and doesn't just use the high rating.

Maybe now, when Demon says it, they'll believe. I'm not talking out of my @$$ and if you've noticed I tend not to. I don't usually throw out facts and statements that are wrong or obsurd. If I don't know anything about it, I won't say anything. Unlike some clowns.
