ok well I have this ls/vtec and it looks like the head is not a gsr due to the intake manifold.
So I thought it was a b16 or possibly the type r. But the head has a p72 stamped
on it in the front. Ive never really seen this before, but on the other hand all ive had
was d-series and zc motors.
Thanks for the help.
Can somebody tell me of any ways I can identify the differant heads apart from one to
another.

 

p72=gsr

 

could be a skunk 2 manifold on a gsr haed but if it says p72 its a gsr head

 

Another way is to look at the shape of the combustion chamber underneath:

if the shape is perfectly round, it is a B16 head

if it resembles a square it is a GSR head


ITR and B16 heads are nearly identical except for a mild P&P.

P72 is always a GSR head.

 

P72 anything is always off of a GS-R

x2

 

is there any way it could be a type r head?

I know theres the 1st and 2nd gen b16 but whats the differance in the b16b.

 

Have you not been reading this thread? P72 = GS-R. If that is what's stamped on the head, there is no way it can be anything else.

All B16 (including the B16b CTR) and the ITR have PR3 heads.

 

b16 heads have the upper coolant passage on the rear of the head and the gsr head has it on the front.

 

but the intake manifold goes up not down like
the gsr. maybe it has some custom work.

 

Like mentioned before..it might have a sk2 IM on it. if it says p72 then it's a GSR. and there is no way you can change that unless you get a new head.

that can easily be changed with a skunk2 or similar manifold

 

once again P72=GSR

 

post a pic if you really wanna know but yeah p72=gsr

 

ok well i tripple checked and yeah it says p72-1 right on the front of the head.

Im guessing it must have an aftermarket intake manifold then. Because it looks
like the b16, but it looks stock. Now I want to find out what intake manifold im running?

Is there any other stock intake manifolds could be used on the gsr head?
