ok doin a turbo build and wanting about 4-500 whp, i will have the gsr bottom end prepped and ready for turbo, but should i go wityh a b16 head or a gsr head? i can snag a b16 for 250 and gsr for 325

 

B16 since it's cheaper, not major difference you will see from each head... Plus the b16 head with a gsr block is basically what honda did to make the "B18c5 Type R"... Plus the b16 head will give you more intake manifold choices for aftermarket goodies...

 

ya i did a poor mans type r few years ago, but never got around to enjoying it due to problems, and i originally wanted the same setup so i could boost it, but was kind of in a pickle as to what head to use since they are both available

 

any1 else have an opinion as to whats better?

 

to my knowledge, b16 head flows the best out of all the b series.

 

i think its all about the head work (valves, springs, retainers, p&p) to allow the most cfm's if im not mistaken. but i had heard the gsr has squared chambers on the bottom of the head for better combustion as opposed to a b16 round ones, if im not mistaken

 

the b16 head flows better stock,

the GSR head is better if you built it/port it vs the b16

because of the chambers.

so if your leaving a stock head, get b16, if your to build / port the head, get a gsr

 

thanks^^^^^
