Default v-tech problems

okay im looking at buying this car that someone has but im not sure.
The car is a integra gsr but he said the reason its not pulling when it hits v-tech is because the crank in it is from a b16 . now how much of this could be true? or is it all bull. someone give me some kinda answer thanks.

that sounds really shady and really shitty...i would suggest staying as far away from that car as you can. It doesn't sound like the current owner knows a damn thing about it...

Sounds like a crappy deal to me. Find one that's running right, unless he will give you a good deal

VTEC in a GSR doesn't surge, hit, or kick if it is working properly. The B18C1 engages VTEC at 4400 RPM. Most people think that it engages at ~5750 RPM when the IAB engages. As for a B16 crank in the GSR, that sounds really shady. Either the seller doen't know a think about his car or they are actively scamming.

there are a bunch of scammers out there. this guy i knew had a jdm b16, and he had some bucks he wanted to throw into it. well he took it to a "freind of his" the guy suckered him into swapping his head for a gsr head. and supposedly built his bottem end. so he ended up with a gsr head and b16 bottem end. talk about a shitty setup, and the guy who built the motor had a nice jdm b16 head on his ls/vtec!! now that is SHADY !!!!!


TRUST NO ONE!! AND I MEAN NO ONE!!

The P72 GSR and PR3 B16 heads flow about the same. It is a myth that the B16 is better. The GSR head would provide greater compression on a B16 engine. Nonetheless, it sounds shady.

yeah but don't the gsr head have a different quench pad on the intake side that makes it a little different that is why the intake manifold is shaped the way it is? correct.

The intake ports on the P72 head angle downwards towards the valves. The PR3 intake ports are horizontal and turn more at the intake valves. The following link has flow data.
