will a b16 jspec head bo good on a b18c1 block

 

"bo good"?

it will fit
it will lower compression
it will work

 

it will be fine. some ppl prefer the gsr head, and some like the b16 head

 

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure that set up is called Ls/vtec. So if im right then it should be good.

 

no a b18a or b would be a lsvtec b18c1 is a gsr.

 

I got my B18s mixed up.

 

its co just want to know if it will run good and like a type r

 

From what I've read, to achieve a poor man's r you must pnp a PR3 b16head with type r internals... And slap it on a gsr block. This is what I have concluded from searching, I think I'll be doing the same thing.

 

so i need a type r bottom block in stead of a b18c1 then i can just add a b16a head and it shpuld run good

 

You could really try a search, but heres goes take a b16b or b16a head with type r internals(itr/ctr[ted better on intake cam]) and mate with a b18c1 (gsr) block. Type r heads are slightly ported larger than b16's also, but not significantly.

If you get a type r bottom why not just get the whole motor?

if you have 4 grand to drop sure, get the actual deal. there is a reason why they call it a poor man's type R. for roughly half the cost of an ITR block, you could have yourself a decent N/A motor.

defeats the purpose of a poor mans r like frickr said

no, you need a gsr block and a b16 head.

If he can get the whole motor why would he want to build a ptr

 

yes it will work, yes it will bolt right up, and yes it will lower your compression. Some people prefer the stock p72 head because of the secondaries in the manifold which delivers a little more low-mid range power.

pr3 b16 heads are the same casting as ITR's minus the minor port work on the intake side and more aggressive head package. You don't have to pnp and get the ITR package to have a poor man's R. Stock b18c/1 blocks are identical to R's minus the rods and pistons, pistons have a higher dome which bumps compression depending on head.
