jdm b18c head on a jdm b16a block
 

what do you think about it? is this a good move or not? how do you think it will run? i have a gsr motor but needed to rebuild the block but a great offer came by me for this b16a block clean ass hell for a lil next to nothing. so i thought i save a lil money now get my car back on the road and just get the gsr blocc ready for turbo!was this a good move?what do you think i could expect out of this motor?thanks for you time

I dont see the true purpose but it might be a good idea. try it and post up some results.

the reason i did it was just becouse it was cheeper to get my car back on the road till i build my gsr block but well c what happens im going to put the shit together today drop it in tomorrow and then see how it runs and the throw the turbo kit on will post what ever happens.

it really couldnt be that bad in all honesty. just keep us informed. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

It will work fine
You will gain compression
You will not lose flow

I hope you know the intake manifold flange pattern is different than b16/itr, so if it doesnt come with a manifold, you need to get one.
I would not run the p72 ecu with a b16 bottom end - run a p30 map if your ecu is chipped

c/r goes up
youll probably make more power than a stock b16
get an s2/blox/edelbrock intake mani and run a p30

WHY WOULD I NEED A DIFFERENT INTAKE MANIFOLD IF IM USEING TO GSR HEAD?WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I LEAVE THE STOCK MANIFOLD ON THERE. MY FRIENDS SAY I SHOULDNT HAVE TO CHANGE THE INTAKE MANIFORLD CUZ IM USEDING A GSR HEAD. WILL THE P72 ECU WORK?

caps......

And everything I said, in my first post, answers what youre asking.
Except for:
The stock p72 intake manifold using 2ndary butterflies.

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
 

we changed the manifold flange what about that and about the ecu will it work at least? thanks man

hey bud im new to hnda tech. your car looks good but the pic is so small, is there any way i can see your car?

Re: (southCountySaint)
 

yo man my car pics arent on here so if you see someones pics just click on it and you should be able to see there pis or go to the garage pease

You swapped flagnes? Thats impressive.
The ecu will work, yeah. Its not the best though

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
 

watzup bro. ive been running that setup for awhile cuz my block blew from a bad oil pump. anyways everything should be ok. all i got on my head is some skunk2 cams. its pretty quick. fast enough to beat stock k20. 1.6 taking out a 2.0 . not sayin k20 aint nothin. but it's pretty impressive when you have a 1.6 beat a 2.0 . yea it has some cams, but it's potential is not met due to the CR.

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
 

thanks for all you help man we will see what happens plugn everthing in tonight and starting it up well see and ill let you know https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

Re: (jdmEJchillen)
