Suggestions Wanted: B16 Head/GS-R Block or Complete GS-R?
I wasnt sure where to put this thread since it isnt model specific or tech related more of a discussion. Anywerds
Stuck on what to build. I have a b16 head, a gsr head and a gsr block. I read a regular gsr will put down slight more power than a poor man type R also what kind of pistons should i run? Aftermarket gsr pistons or type R pistons? Would like others opinions on what to do. I also have a ls crank/ rods and block. Could put ls internals in the gsr block and have a stroked poor man type R? Or build a lsv with a b16 head. Decisions decisions. I jumped into this project without a plan in mind but i do know i want to finish a gsr engine. This discussion is just to get some ideas bouncing around. Let me know what you all think!

real answer - ls crank in gsr block with some type r pistons with gsr head because slightly higher compression
GDD answer - hondas are for poors

If you use that LS block you will have to run a catch can as you would have no PCV system with an LS block / VTEC head. And an oil line kit.

Frankly if I had a complete GSR I would just go with that. Why not just put the GSR together and slap the B16 head on the LS block? Wouldn't that make sense? 2 engines right there.

This. But you may need to modify the crank to clear the squirters. That setup would make the most power.

Lol ok. SLEEVED makes better sense. B20 block IMO is a better option if cost is a concern.
