If you are talking about a totally stock head then my guess would be the type r.

I would use the B16 only because the manifold is a little easier to deal with.The heads are very similar in hp potential.

either head is fine, just sell one and get ur money for it. B16 is a great head design just as the gsr head is. there will be compression differences because of combusiton chamber sizing.

Dont forget about the GSR camshafts. They are great for most turbo setups, as long as your not getting to crazy.

ive got a set of rlz cams going in the motor and a skunk 2 pro series manifold for the gsr head so the dual plenum crap isnt a problem.
