i had a b16a in my hatch! I was a dumbass and didnt see the big water pudle the water got sucked up into my intake and hydrolocked my motor f***in sucks but got to start rebuilding so here is my plan

In sted of buying a b16a block and just rebuilding it back to normal i was thinking about buying a B18c1 (gsr) block and putting my b16 tranny with lsd and my b16 head on the GSR block i dont know much about this setup and would like some advice

about what to buy? what the compression ratio is? would be an advantage to build? what ecu to run p28? or the p30?

if any one has any advice please let me know

 

CAI FTW

 

lol not sure what that means

 

If you go with the B16A head, you'll lose .1 compression and a couple hp on the lower end of your powerband. It'll work good though.
If you gonna run obd1, it really dosen't matter which ecu you use if your gonna chip it.

 

would it be a better setup then the straight B16

yes! extra displacement ForTheMuthaFuckinWin

 

gsr block with b16 head= poor mans type r just seach for more info on it

 

yes did the research the poor mans type r on about every honda site and i cant seem to find the answer im looking for the B18c1 block and the B16 head are very simalr to the type r witch gives it the name poor mans type are but im looking for the horse power gain and torque gain from it

 

Better off to go with a cheap LS block. Put in some P30 pistons, ARP rodbolts and headstuds, Golden Eagle LS/VTEC conversion kit, and get 11.6:1 compression; use your B16 waterpump, oilpump and pickup, and get a Type R timing belt. Balance the whole bottom end (crank, rods, pistons, clutch, crank pulley) Will be faster than a B18C block would be, and should be around the same price.

Don't forget to tune it, whichever way you decide to go

acutally to make it a poor mans type-r you need type-r pistons,cams,and intake manifold..

 

why would i need new cams pistons and intake wouldnt my b16 intake work fine and the cams in my head as well

Yeah you can use those,,but then it wouldnt be a poor man's type-r ..

the whole point of this motor is to get a type-r motor clone for cheap,,and you're not going to get close with shitty cams,intake manifold,and low compression.
