if you put the work into the block to hold the revs the b1 head is rev happy and flows great...if you are going all motor just go type r or poor mans type r or k series - lots of options -


also keep in mind it may not have the torque or hp stock as the b18's the b16 block does have nearly ideal r/s ratio

There are many arguments as to which head produces the best flow.

Here is a good read: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=469492

Good luck

i have a b20 with gsr head and i love it. b20 vtec is killer. get some toda vtec killer cams, blox IM, and a good header and you'll be well on your way to a beast. a b20 is like a gsr bored .20 over

You're absolutely correct about that setup, but toda vtec killers are a little much for a street-driven car

Before i went k i had a b20 with a gs-r head on it and i had no problem making evo and sti owners go everytime we ran, but even well built b20s don't like 10.5k revs that much. Either way you won't be disappointed
