all depends, motor against motor sti has more hp, but hondas have less weight, so it's not the engine, but the car it's in.
also, suz got her sti, and just from a tune gained 50wtq out of it, I've never seen any b-series engine pick up that much torque from just a tune...that's like doubling the torque for those engines!!! (=

in a sense its apples and oranges.... their stock forms are ment for slightly different uses.
im a fan of both companies and both motors.
have had experience with b series they are definately a great motor with much potential.
but so is the sti motor.

The B18c5 is one of the best engineered 4 cyl motor ever to be built if you ask me. They run forever and produce quite a bit of power when built and tuned properly...even without forced induction. When I jumped the honda ship I was having a 300hp motor built based on a B18C5.
On the flip side as a turbo motor, the 2.5 liter STI motor and even more so the 2.0 liter S202 motors are great as well. The obviously produce great number for their size and purpose and have tramendous potential for growth.
The B18 remember has been being worked with by tuners and enthusiasts for quite a while now. If you look at the growth of power numbers and quarter mile times in the subaru world with the 2.5 block it's pretty crazy how quick it's gone up.
saying that....different worlds...different motors....both great platforms if you ask me.
Now trannies....that's another store. Honda trannies are down right amazing compared to our chunky units....course they only turn 2 wheels..haaa. or one...haaa

what built on the gsr motor? NA? or turbo? A fully built gsr motor in NA form will never, and I mean never put down 300 to the wheels. You could barely do it with the k series.
now a turbo gsr motor. i've seen someone put down 700whp, but i've also seen a 700whp sti. basically you can produce huge amount of power if you had the cash.
