b16 block itr head?
Im looking to build a b16 setup. My plans are b16a2 block with ctr pistons, acl bearings, and arp rod bolts. ITR head, arp headstuds and undecided head gasket. This will be my dd so i was wondering if the type r head is worth the money since im using a b16 block. And if the ctr pistons would be beneficial. Thanks alot

I don't understand that either, the B16 head and the Type R head are damn near identical, why is it that the Type R head makes more power? Does it come Pre-Ported with more aggressive Internals or what?

The Type R head comes ported in the bowl area. Tapered intake valves. Better LMA's than b16s. And dual valvesprings. Also the Type R head has a different valve grind angles. The major reason for the HP increase is the port work/tapered valves. Generally about 5 hp on a b16

He asked about the head...Unfortunately I got my short block with ctr piston already in it. Engine is kinda of tired (Smokes). Running ctr cams right now. If I had different cams and header/exhaust I should hit 12.8-13.1's

Well I assumed the ITR cams were included with the head, just like how you assumed the ITR valves, lma's and dual springs were included with the head.

I was just be sarcastic..LOL...He asked what was the difference between the b16a and a type r head. If none of that was included with the head it would be a over priced "bowl" ported b16a head. LOL

The ITR valve job like someone else pointed out is also worth some good HP gains vs. the standard B16 valve job.

Re: b16 block itr head?
ok well i found of set of p73 jdm itr pistons and i was thinking of doung a ls crank with ls rods with itr pistons in a b16, so it will be stroked. Im not sure if this will work in the b16 i know it would in a gsr or itr? also im considering a b16 head with either gsr cams or skunk 2 stage 2's. with a b16 tranny it should pull pretty good..
