I think they'll be too long actually.

Bump for confirmation.

I'm positive the bolts are different lengths.

you need b16 bolts. match the bolts/studs to the block being used.

Just out of curiosity, what Gains do you get from putting a GSR head on a B16 block?
I would assume better airflow and better head quality for some horse gains, but as soon as i hear GSR, my gut hurts when i think of the upsidown manifold and those secondary butterflys that everyone just loves, lol.

.2 compression increase

and you'd assume wrong

the dual stage manifold works very well for what it was designed to do. to keep a flat torque curve throughtout the rpm band.



you'll never see a b16 with a torque curve that smooth
