the cr version for performance, the wr version for economy.

Newer, slightly. Stronger, debateable :)

Only difference I could ever see between the two was the f15 had no inspection plate and tried both and noticed no difference between ratios either

F13 cr with a 4.18 cwp would make it prity nippy

CR with a 4.18 will be very short geared, you will be forever changing gear and not want to do much motorway cruiding

I had one in my old gte and it was good and was very light on fuel it was revving a little higher on long journeys but was so much morefun to drive

The WR F13 on a gte is woefull, it takes the life out the engine IMHO I much preferred the F13 CR 374
