Is my B16 head ready for boost? Help with identification
So i picked up what i thought was a stock PR3-1 B16 head for a great price. Opened it up to build it, and found the first thing, 96+ GSR cams. So a plus....
I'm not too familiar with the valvetrain and what it looks like stock so......can anyone tell me if these are stock B16 or GSR valves? They look pretty decent, you think i could just clean these up and reuse these? On a side note, the valve springs had Dual springs intake marked green and single exhaust marked white.
Also, take a look at the ports, is this what a normal B16 head looks like or has this been ported? Also where the valve seals, has this had a valve job or does this look stock?
Trying to figure out if I should order Supertech valves, springs, retainers or if I can reuse what i have. This will eventually be on a built B18b bottom end. Looking for 400whp.

Also, is that a 3 angle valve job or do the stock seats look like that with the color difference? I just dont know.....

your valves look ok to reuse. b16/gsr doesn't matter, they're the same. only ones that are different are type r.

Supertech valves, springs and retainers would be a good idea if you have the money to spare. If you're not revving that high you should be alright with your stock setup as far as I know. The idea of upgrading is to combat valve float which is more likely to happen the higher you rev your engine.
