I have a 99 civic si. How much would i gain by installing a integra type r head complete?

 

Virtually nothing because your Si has the exact same head on it minus some minor porting and better cams.

 

Just swap out ur cams and valve train... same thing.

And a mild P&P.

 

For the money you'd pay for an ITR head, and the time for you to swap it out, you could get your B16 p/p'd and add an ITR intake cam and see better gains, with more potential for power with future upgrades.

 

how do you like your cams? was it a big increase in power? did you also replace any other internals? thanks Dave

 

how about you just buy a gsr bottom end and put your pr3 on and add some type r goodies?

Im in the process of the exact set-up...
I already have the ITR intake mani and throttle body on my B16, made a Very noticable diff.
Picking up a GSR block tommorow and ordering ITR cams new from work (Acura)

Should be a good set-up

A friend of mine had just the gsr block with a stock b16 head and his
car pulled Hard


so basically to answer your question

How much did you find a gsr bottom end for?

 

GSR bottom ends go for about 800.
Whatever you do don't use b16 valvetrain with Type R cams.
