alright.. so i searched... and i came up with only the opposite combo (b16 head on gsr block) soo here it is... im looking at a 95 integra with 00 front end.. its orginally a gsr but i guess he blew the block... but anyways he replaced it with a b16 block and it has the original head/tranny... so would this set up be slower than a stock gsr/si motor w/ same mods (i/h/e)? any input would be great... thanksss

p.s. sorry if its been covered.. point me in the right direction cause i can't find it

wouldnt it be slower because the b16 block cant rev as high as a GSR? idunno, never herd of this conversion because its always all about LS block/B16head LSV combos. but...

bump for info

 

i've seen it done before, as for more, i dunno. but i wouldn't buy a car w/ a mix-matched motor. thats just me. Because you dunno where he got the B16 block from.

Nope, if anything the B16 can take a little more revving than the GSR. Both have the same redline.

The car is definitely going to be slower than a stock GSR because there's less torque and the tranny isn't geared for the torque deficiency.

 

it wouldnt work well that way.. b16 blocks are whack. " there is no replacement for displacement" it's torqueless

 

the car is from my brothers girlfriends little brother.. soo i know what its been through... he works at a lexus dealer and knows alot about hondas... the reason he did it is cause he needed a running car and just threw something together...but would this be slower than a regular si motor? bump for any info

tony

 

It'd be about the same as a regular SI motor. Same amount of torque and roughly the same hp. The heads and IMs are different but really dont make all that much difference in power.

 

yup the motor should have close to the same power as an si but as far as running up against another gsR or even an si forget about it the power won't be enough to haul the weight of the integra seeing as how civics weigh less i say throw in a b18c1

 

i did this set up with my db8
b16a2block with gsr head and tranny.
hella slow. im getting my ecu chip this week.
I threw the gsr block on my 00 em1.(now is a poor man type r)

 

my friend's has that combo in an eg civic and it moves it's weight real good, but i agree that a c1 block would be better suited in an integra. whats he asking for the car anyway, it all depends on the price and condition of the car.

 

It's is undoubtly going to have less power and probably be a fairly slow car really.
GSR block&gt; SI block; GSR head&lt; SI head. So as you can see it is totally *** backwards set up.

 

learn something about hondas everyday :]

 

agreed that it will be slower than a gsr but the si head isn't always the better head. i'm sure i don't need to explain why.

Yea, I struggle everyday to understand why everybody always says the SI head is better. The flow tests have been shown time and time again and the air flow is nearly identical on both heads. How and why is the SI better?

 

i think the reason people believe that the b16 head is better is because honda used that casting for the type-r, so people just automatically assume it's better.

 

There was a thread that compared both the si head and gsr head on a ls block. Gsr head accually made more power

 

no ****, i definately thought the b16 head was better. crazy ****

 

I wish i could find the thread.

Oh sizzle......the "Type R." I find it funny because if you actually look at ALL of the upgrades honda did (P&P, cams, valvesprings, valves, raised compression, intake manifold, redesigned/modified intake, header, exhaust, etc) and they got 25hp at the crank. Then people magically think the cams are going to add 25hp to their car......**** trips me out every time.
