can you swap this heads because he 93 teggy gsr motor is 1.7 and people say is more like the b16 so should i swap the b18 head or b16 or keep stock. also what tranny is good for the 93 B17A gsr

 

correct me if im wrong someone. but i pretty sure that b series heads are interchangable with each other, and i think that the gsr still has the same tranny which personally i think is a pretty good tranny. b16 tranny is shorter. but if you really want to get complicated go with b16 1,2 gsr 3,4 ls 5

 

whats up with a;; those numbers man. make it simple.

 

People build CRVTEC's with that head, I would make the uneducated assumption that there should be absolutely no problem, and if there was any issue at all, I also would assume that they would be easily resolved, but remember if I assume I make an ***-outof-U-and-ME HEHE

 

so you guys think i should keep that head and just do my internals maybe from the ITR.

 

whoa buddy no one said that, first off its a different rotating assembly than both ITR and CTR, not to mention different bore. It will be a full build either way, so consider more options among those if you are within a budget. by the way im partial to gsr tranny

 

so whats up then is the b17a a good engine or not and is it worth it i bought mine for $600 with 83k.

 

some people hate them, i have seen many running very strong and nice (then again alot of people hate h22 also). That seems like a fair price for anything dohc vtec with under 100k, did it come with a head? intake manifold? sheet metal? ecu? wiring? trans? wait... even better, what exactly did it come with?

 

it came with the entire motor and tranny im gonna have to buy the wire harness and of course the papers

 

keep your stock head on there. you dont gain a whole lot from swapping on a p72 head. and no the bore is not different than a b17/b18.

b17's are rare engines cause they were only in 92-93 gsr's. anyway you decide to build it you'll get similar results as a b16.

 

ok i have "oneludesol" tell me is different bores which i doubt it because is a b series block and they all have same bores just diffrent pistons,rods etc, and one saying is the same, im gonna go with "doood" is the same bore.

 

dood is right all but b20 sorry (I always thought b17 was "black sheep" status like the b20 in the preludes)

like i said in your other thread, they have the same block and head. only difference is b17 has a slightly longer stroke and shorter rods. that's what makes up the displacement difference.

 

thanks for ur info guys.

 

Yes. A b17 is a stroked b16 for all intensive purposes. So if you want to think of it that way, a b17 head is a b16 head.

 

heres what i would do in this situation.buy the gsr head and build it then slap it on no down time.if you have the money or can save up find u an ls block and do the same.
