this is the description of the motor i might buy this weekend

"gsr head on b16 block, decked and milled, ctr piston, quafie lsd installed in b16 tranny, headers, exedy 6 puck clutch, port and polich head, and intake manifold with removed secondary runners"

he said he ran 13.8 in a full interior street tire hatch all motor

i'm curious how good the gsr head on a b16 is???is it a good setup????? i thought the mini me was the other way around (gsr block b16 head) isnt this getting the worst of both????????

anyways let me know if you guys think this would be a good buy, the price is reasonable

 

I thought the B16 head flowed better than the GSR head, slightly? I know there is debate over this also. And I do remember that the GSR head yields different compression than the B16 head.

 

I'd opt for something with 1.8L.

 

his compression is gonna be through the roof at least 13:1 if not higher....
don't remember what it is....but it is high....

 

i would think a 1.8 would be better for more torque

 

sounds like an awesome motor depending on the price.

however, i've always preferred a B16 head on a B18 or B20 block.

but the choice is yours

 

also do i need the wire harness or ecu to run it he said its obd1 from a 92-95 sirII, my car is a 94 si, i heard i need a conversion for the hydro to tranny

so do i need anything else to make it work????

he said the compression is rediculous so i' asking SHOULD I GET THIS MOTOR YES OR NO, assuming it works fine??????

how much do you think its worth??????

thanks for any help,

 

if you know how, or know someone, they can modify your factory harness to work.
or you could buy one.

and yes you will need an ECU.

Isn't your car hydro already?

 

my car is hydro but the new motor has a cable tranny so wat should i do????

and cant i use my ecu since its obd1 and so is the motor or should i do it right and get something else and if so which one???????

 

nope cant use your ecu.

You can either get a hydro tranny, or do a cable tranny conversion on your car.

 

I am going to do the same setup but with hydro tranny. I have a 94 ex with a d16z6 and swapping to 98 gsr head on a b16a block (stock) with a 94 gsr IM so I can stay OBD1. the compression would be 10.8:1.

P.S. block with all parts was $125 and head was $540 from Draginteg. so far I have saved alot of money.

 

what ecu should i use if this doesnt have the secondary butterfly running

 

if i can get this b16 which is fully worked, and can also get a gsr stock for like $200 extra, what do you guys think i should go for???????????????

i know the 1.8 is great and jsut overall better but at the end of the day isnt it who gets accross the line first, and i'm thinking this worked b16 can take a stock gsr but what do i know

 

built b16

 

by the way thanks for all of the reesponses
