Regarding internals, only the valve springs and intake valves differ from a B18C1 head . I'm not sure about the B16A heads. How high do you plan to rev?

Check the part numbers here:

If you are planning to rebuild the head, add the Type R components. If you don't need to rebuild, the only advantages that you will gain are slightly better flowing intake valves and an slightly extended rev range, but you have to rebuild the head. The ITR cam overlap may be detrimental in a boost situation.

yeah, aren't smaller cams better for boost? sell the type r stuff for more boost stuff.
