hey guys, after 2 years of talking of going b series, i finally made the jump. i doubt my build will be anything to write home about, nor will will it be a ***** out budget race car. im doing this a budget swap for my dd. i wont have alot to start off with, seeing as how the only thing i have so far is a b16 head, with ctr/itr valvetrain. Again, this wont be a super build, but itll be my 1st build. so to start it off, i picked up this b16 head for 275 bucks. guy i got it from didnt know it had type r valvetrain. i was expecting b16 stock valvetrain so if its indeed type r, itll be a plus!

sorry for the pics being so big, htc one only knows high res

ferio-ichi3

i hear type r valves are the same as any b series valves besides weight. are there any size difference of the face? guy said his friend has type r intake valves, but stock b16 exhaust. i think this because on the exhaust side, it has F stamped on the bottom and are smaller than the intake valves. i met the guy today to pick up the exhaust valves, and they are bigger than the stock exhaust valves. so my question is are the type r exhaust valves bigger than stock vlaves? i included some pics below. i will touch on this subject on sunday when i put the other valves in.

before you get cams get a block and decide WHAT C/R you want to run. I would have the head resurface just to be on the safe side of things. 275 not bad i'd do it just to have a spare head around. lets see the shell/body

ferio-ichi3

What about photobucket? Im looking for either b16a or gsr, and trying to be around 11.1-11.8. the guy wants like 200 for the cams, thats why im picking them up.

ferio-ichi3

my daily driver, 00 sedan. i was trying to do poor mans type r, but i cant seem to find gsr block for cheap. same guy said his friend has b16 jdm block for 300. i dont know about that lol.

ferio-ichi3

So i couldn meet the guy today. But i found a gsr block, complete minus rods for only 100 bucks. Bad news is: its 2.5 hrs away, but its relatively clean. Ill upload pics

J-RAD

hmmmm. if i was really motivated to build this motor i would drive the 2.5 hours! just make sure you got some good music on hand haha. good luck with the build!

ferio-ichi3

I have lots of music, so i should be good lol, hes giving me a great deal also, i still havent uploaded the pics, let me do that quick. And thanks!there are things i need to take care of with the head though, i still need the oil seals for the cams, the cam cap bolts, the keys, the cam gear bolts. The needs a good cleaning. What should i clean with?degreaser? Soapy water?

It looks like a good buy for 100. Ill have pics of the crank. I think it looks pretty good. Anything i should ask?

J-RAD

Wow looks pretty complete. Didn't come with a crank/rods/pistons?

ferio-ichi3

It has crank, i have pics of that also, cranks damn clean, and ls pistons but im getting type r so those will be sold.. no rods, but arp rod bolts bnib!. Pics when im on break

ferio-ichi3

You can see in one of the pics, one of the journals look kinda scratched/scuffed. Is that a problem, or is it ok?

Bump

ferio-ichi3

Picked up gta5! Lol

ferio-ichi3

Picking up thr block and crank today. Pretty hype. Once i get this, itll be rods and piston combo. Eagle rods with nippon pistons? Or ycp?

ferio-ichi3

So i picked up the block for 175, and would you know, the crank has a deep mark that makes it useless, ill upload

ferio-ichi3

As you see, that mark looks terrible. Someone wanted to sell me one for 200.is that a good price?

ferio-ichi3

Damn, i cant even get one person to ask about the build? Sheesh....anyway, Picking up another crank today, and picking up the parts i ordered. Nothing serious, cam cap bolts, cam gear bolts, valve cover bolts, the end cam cap bolts( the longer ones), and some others thatll make the head complete. I called napa and, they wanted 58 bucks to hot tank the head. So thatll happen soon. The guy(same guy i got the head, type r tb, and now crank) says he have bnib acl rod/crank bearings. And wants them both for 50 bucks. And is selling me gsr rods for 60. Should i get that hot tanked also?and should i leave the valvetrain in? Im getting new valve seals anyway, so what should i do? First time builder here, please give me advice!!

$200 for a crank is ******* rape. They go for a bill at most, all day long.

If you're getting the head hot tanked, you need to completely strip it down first. I wouldn't worry about getting the rods hot tanked, but I would get them shot peened.

J-RAD

damn sorry to hear about the crank. looks bad. but glad you are gathering parts and gonna have the head done!
