ok ..i need a new head for my gsr motor....what u guys think about a si head onto my gsr block (poormans R).....or should just get another gsr head...or even a ITR head....just wanted to start a little discussion on this dont be shy ... ..btw how much does ITR heads usally go for price wise vs. a gsr or si head?.

 

just finished my ITR head on a gsr block... its got it for a good deal too

 

coo...how much should a ITR head cost? gotta look into that more

 

wouldnt pay more than 1-1500 for complete head...

 

guess theres no discussion..

 

When I was getting my b20vtec put together, the b16 head was 400, the gsr was 800, and the type r was around 1200

 

if you get anything but GSR head, you'll lose compression unless you upgrade your pistons to ITR or something that is domed instead of flat like the gsr's.

 

Do pistons while you are at it. This will influence which head you get (compression)

I have paid $550 for a 96 itr head and $650 for a 2001 itr head, no cams or anything, just valvetrain.

 

That's still pretty cheap. I paid 1250 for a brand new 2001 head with EVERYTHING.

 

stick with the GSR head.

Skunk2 manifold, ctr cams, jdm itr pistons, mile port and polish...that'll be a good thing.

 

thanks guys

 

if you get a R head then you really dont have to do anything. a gsr head will give you about .3 more on your compression but i would build it. a si will lower the compression of the gsr but youll have the flow like an R but needs to be built. im building a all mtr gsr with a si head only because its close to a R but better if it fully built the head. im only spending 1800 whitch includes the head and fully building it with skunk2 products.

COOL ..but thats what u would want, i would think... lower compression

 

my turbo is low compression. im in the process of building a all mtr hb. my turbo civic is a cpe and it basicly done.

 

got ne pics of em....wow this post changed real quick...lol

 

this is my hb but right now it only has a sohc untill my gsr is ready! my cpe is in the shop.

 

oh i seen that in the appearance forum...nice
