stupid question.

GSR head.

next time you ask a simple question, search first. its already been asked. and answered 1,000,000 times.

 

acually................

I did search

and I have heard 2 different answers...So I wanted to start a thread

Anyone know what a gsr head would bump up the compression to on a b16??

What is the stock compression of a b16?

I just want some real answers

 

another stupid question. i swear this is the last time im answering your thread.

stock b16a2 usdm compression 10.2:1
JDM b16a 2nd gen 10.4:1

GSR head increases compression .2 points.

so if you have a b16a2, 10.2 + .2 = 10.4:1

thanks man lol

 

I have a gsr head. ill trade you for your B16 SI head

 

Okay I have been doing some reading and now Im confused....

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=469492

They say that the gsr head yeilds more compression, but the b16 head flows better?

So Im just gonna make this easy....

Im planning on getting a head and building it (skunk stg 2, flat valves, mugen head gasket, ported) and putting it onto my stock b16 bottom end...I already have i/h/e/test pipe...getting a p28 soon and uberdata

What head would be better for my build?


And kinda OT but would a USDM ITR IM do anygood with this setup?

 

As far as I know, the B16 is similar, if not identical, to an ITR head. I've read on Team-Integra that the ITR head has a mild port job done on it. What flows better? It's not going to matter if you're going to port the head. If you're sticking with the GS-R head, it might be cool to get a stock GS-R IM ported.

 

the b16 head is far better than a GSR head.

the itr head is very similar to the b16 head but with a few modification.

the differences are: intake valves are 12% lighter due to thinner stem and increased angle from 60deg to 40deg. slight port/polish on intake, same exhaust ports. thats really it except for the cams/springs/retainers that is.

 

nice job on schooling the noob

 

Lemme see if I got this right....

The b16 gives less compression but flows better than a gsr head

So I should use a gsr head if I plan on porting it anyway?? since it will give me more compression.


And what will an ITR intake mani do on this setup... becuase everyone says get a sk2 IM
Because I have seen dynos of the skunk 2 IM only making power from 7-8k rpm.

What would be the best IM to use for this setup??
Thanks in advance

 

ok, well if you plan on keeping the bottom end stock, i would say use the gsr head which will give you a tad more compression and since you are going to port it to open up the flow, i would be fine with the gsr head.

The gsr head and the b16/itr head have different intake ports and therefore different manifold bolt patterns. You will be unable to use a manifold made for an itr/b16 head and will be limited to those produced for a gsr head. There are many out there which include: Skunk 2, Skunk 2 Pro series, AEBS, Blox, Edelbrock, and probably a few more. From those I would say the most common used one for sale is the Skunk which is a great manifold. For your setup, I think any will suffice (i think the edelbrock will be too big of a manifold unless you have nice portwork and good cams).
If you have any questions, let me know

kevin if you goin to pull the head why not do it right spend the money get some eagle rods and a higher compression piston instead .2 off the gsr head. do you head work and get some good cams and make good power that just my 2 cents. if your running the b16 head the type-r manifold will do you fine. pretty close to the skunk mani.
