B16A Head/GSR Block- Good for Turbo?
Did the SEARCH, and there are a ton of topics, this lowers compression... stick with the GSR head... etc. But none mentioned if this is a good setup with a Turbo. To me, it seems lowing the compression a few points and using the larger combustion chamber of the B16 Head- when coupled some decent tuning would be pretty badass. Is anyone running this setup with FI or seen one? TIA

What timing belt are you guys using with this combo, assuming stock deck height on the block and head.

Re: B16A Head/GSR Block- Good for Turbo? (boosted hybrid)
If I use the stock bore of the B18c Block- is there any mods I need to do to the head to make this work? I'm planning on swapping OUT the B16a cams/springs/retainers in favor of GSR cams/valvespring/retainers at the same time. This shouldn't affect any of my valvetrain geometry, right?

You should be fine. I have a b18c5 block, but with a 2000 Si Head. I just had the head ported and polished. I didn't think it was worth the extra money for the Type-R head.

Timing belts are based off the water pump gear. What ever water pump gear oyu have you need that belt.

I wanted to go with this set-up, but those GSR shortblocks are running too much money. I already have a spare b16, so when I have the money I'm just gonna get that sleeved to 84 mm. Twice the money, but hopefully some piece of mind.
