Hey guys just wondering if ne one has done this. B18C block with a B16 head... I tried the search but it wasnt workin... I am going boost.. The gsr block had 9,000 miles... and the head has 15k.... Ne comments im wondering if i am heading my self into problems or is this a good setup...

 

its a pretty good setup i guess. Some people may say differ so i guess its up to you!

Ah.. I've heard about this setup but i'm not too familiar with it. I think it was close to a Type-R motor? err.. not too sure.

 

thats what i am hearing but they say when u but the b16 head on the gsr block it lowers compression.. so its boost friendly???

 

the b16 isn't going to change the compression much over the c1 head. and i mean either way u'll still want to put some lower compression pistons in it just to be safe...

 

B18C1 Block w/ B16 Head: 9.8:1 CR
Stock B18C1: 9.9:1 CR

 

so what do u guys think has ne one done this i wanna boost this bitch lol

 

i thought c1's had 10.5ish comp... maybe i was wrong?

 

according to honda a b18c1 has a 10:1 c/r

yup

 

Last I checked the compression was done by the type of the pistons and the head gasket. Not the head, unless it's been milled which it isn't because we're talking about stock heads.

The B16 head... are we talking about a civic type r head? If this is the case, it's exactly the same as an Integra Type R head it has different cams thats about it.

Search button is pretty helpful too instead of relying on the opinions of people who seem to be a bit unsure. Factual data is much better

 

ok guys i want to know if this setup would be good for boost not the compression just wanna know if ne one has done this setup

Running a PR3 head(ITR/SI(R)/CTR/1G GSR/ETC)) on a B18C1 block will drop compression about .1 or .2

The 1G GSR block was a bastard, then they changed it and now the 2G GSR head is the bastard. lol.

I had a B17 and was building it for boost and realized the aftermarket support for the b17 itnernals is very scarce.. Could only go with Crower rods.. Anyways. this is pretty cool. Some guy realzied someoen ahd this somewhere in the states:

First B17A1

in 3rd GSR gsr made

so what u are sayin is that setup is like a b17?? Do u like i will make close to gsr power??

 

whoa whoa sorry. We shouldn't ahve gone off track on th B17 thing. in no way does a B18C with B16 head = B17.

In the end it will still be clseo to standard B18C1 HP. maybe a tad more with the better flowing head. but only if you sued the GSR cams etc.

This is right^^^^^^

 

No. The talk about compression is ffected only by head gasket/pistons of if head is milled is wrong

 

Tchlenug... so u are good for boost or no good for boost... sorry askin all these questions i just dont wanna jump into stuff without my research.. Cuz i talked to a guy before and he said that setup would be prone to blow

 

huh? lol no if tuned right it'll be fine. Go ahead and boost it. You'll like it :D

 

your the man
