Is that true. I copied that from the crx forum and wanted to know if that is a fact.
Did the ITR head come from the b16 head.

Hmm... I heard it was a port and polished B16 head. The B18 head only fits the dual intake manifold right?

Honda took the B16 head design because the B18C1 head was designed for a dual runner manifold.

Regardless to what many people think as far as flow.. Honda designed the B18C1 head for a specific use.

.....cause they had a shitload of them laying around after producing b16's for so many years! They needed to reuse as many parts during the assembly process to save costs. <------ just a theory/ guess.....

So they didn't have to port and polish b16 heads for the CTR and b18c1 heads for the ITR.
