I have a b16 swap right now. Im going to buy my friends 1.8l GSR block and throw my head on top of it. I want to buy a new timing belt and water pump but don't know what to order it for.

I was think for an ITR since the head is essentially the same as a b16 head and the block is the same casting....

Is this correct?

 

im runnig the same set up b16a2 head and b18c1 block.
i used the GSR belt and water pump.
it will fit perfect.
dont forget to use the gsr bolts because they are longer.
What kind of camshaft are you using
!!!!Dont use b16 cams!!!!!
Good luck

 

also the b16 header wont fit.
is too short!!
get a gsr header.
one more thing
the gsr has oil cooler and the b16 dont
i had to modify the cooling lines.
everything else is simple and easy
peace!!!!!
i hope this will help you

 

I know about the header. What do you mean the GSR has an oil cooler. You mean oil squirters? B16's have those....

Why not use the stock b16 cams? it will only be temporary...

 

by oil cooler i mean
where you mount your oil filter there is a oil cooler. it has 2 water outlet. one form the pipe and the other one goes to the block. coolant flow in there.
B16 cams are hella small but temporary is ok
you will be fine.

 

you can take it off if you want but is good to have an oil cooler for better performance!!!

So if I leave the oil cooler on, where do I run the lines to? Do they go to the radiator because I have a del sol vtec radiator. What do people with GSR swaps in their Civic's do with this?

Also I will only be using the b16 cams for like a month or two, and the car won't be driven much at this time.

 

Well I just did some searching and found out that a JDM b16 does have an oil cooler.

 

i know obd1 Jdm b16 have oil cooler.
i had a b16a2 of a 00civic si. wit out oil cooler.
you will be ok.
so are you going to modify the block or leave it stock.

 

it already has je pistons and eagle rods....i will leave it

 

good thread every question I had just got answered. I need to sell my toda B16 belt now and get the B18. I'm going jdm b16 GSR bottom end ctr pistons for now with eagle rods and GSR cams for now.

 

Ruben how do you like the performance of the PTR?

 

So for sure GSR timing belt water pump combo on a GSR block/B16 head?

Glad this thread helped someone else!

 

for sure possitively will. any dohc vtec water pump and a p72 timing belt

 

so a pr3 belt for sure wont work?
