b16 heads are so cheap these days and easy to find..

b16 head on b18c1 block = low compression. You will want to change your pistons or do something to raise compression. I THINK that the pr3 head on a GSR block will yield in the neighborhood of 9.1:1

edit:
p.s. vtecwat: Your sentence structure sucks. I'm surprised I'm the first one to say this.

How about this for a change, a GSR head on a GSR block.

Poor Man's Type R... You'll make more power with that setup.

that's debateable.

Some say the GSR head has a better flow setup then the pr3 and other's argue for the pr3. Also the stock GSR intake manifold is designed to increase torque at lower RPM's and higher RPM's with the use of it's primary and secondaries.

I'd like to put a GSR head on my b16 block, that'd be a quick way for me to increase compression and I wouldn't have to spend all that money on replacing my 1st gen b16 lma's. I'd also get to upgrade to a 4 wire O2 and newer OBD system.

I 100% agree with the "GSR head on a GSR block" comment.

Sorry I seem kind of harsh, but every where I look on here somone is suggesting a "poor mans type r". They tend to leave off the part about swapping out the pistons to correct the lower compression B16 head.

And IMO I don't think the B16 head flows much (if at all) better than a B18C head.
