Wondering if anyone has ever done poor mans type r turbo .. i have a b18c1 right now with type r cams. I am thinking about buying a b16 head from a friend. I have stock pistons in the block. i would probably put the cams in the b16 head and get dual valve springs. I am planning to save for a turbo kit. Has anyone ever done this?? Do you think it would be safe and any idea on the compression?? thanks

 

it's a waste of time and money, just boost your gsr.

 

thats what hes doin, i thinks hes askin if its a good idea on his future setup.

id say yes mate, good idea, just make sure you get everything else done properly, tuning etc.

 

do it...my future set up because H2B cost too much

 

thanks guys...that is pretty much what this place told me too. Well it will take me a while but hopefully i will be boostin with in the next year

ok, let me rephrase then...

it's ALWAYS a waste of money, put that money towards a nicer setup, or forged internals, or tuning, or anything.

 

why do you think it is a waste of time??

 

because the stock GSR motor will do just fine w/ boost...if you're going to do anything, just use ITR cams in your GSR head...screw the B16 head
