Okay, can I get some difinitive answers as to whether this is going to work?
here's what I'm workin with.
- 1st gen. B16a bottom end, 81.5mm bore, stock crank, New Rods, pistons & rings .( not yet purchased undicided on running stock internals or A/M any suggestions)
installing Stock '98 GSR Complete cylinder head on the B 16 bottom end ( using P72 ecu. and obd2 sensors and Hasport ecu plug for my 91 si plus all other swap essentials)
any suggestions, answers would be great,

 

a had a B16a stock bottom and gsr head in my eg and it was boosted and ran fine . i had to change the coolant tube and thermo housing to clear the water port on the back of the gsr head though , mainly little stuff but they bolted together fine .

 

Great so I'm on the right track n everyone else is blowin smoke thanx 4 the help

 

np, yea i had a bunch of people say not to do it also when i first did it a couple years ago . But while your putting it together u will see the little stuff u will need to change

 

thats funny, usually people use the gsr block and throw on the b16 head. but my buddy has a b16 bottom with gsr head and it works fine. its been blown a few times, but thats cause of other issues.

 

i only did this combo because its what i had sitting around when i blew my ls motor . do u happen to know what your friend changed when assembling his swap . i listed what i changed but cant remember from which motor the parts i used exactly came from .

 

Yup on the same track low cost build for what I think will make decent power, the only concern I'm havin is pistons the B16' s are supposedly domed ( don't have 'em, that's just my research) and the GSR has dished ( to my knowledge) slugs because of the quench style cumbustion chamber, any Idea on what timing belt to run, or suggestions on other running gear ( damn 4am and the nights just bgun):be er::beer :: beer:

 

there isnt any P2v clearance issues with using the stock bottom its what i did and was fine . and if ur block still has the stock b16 water and oil pump use a b16 T belt, it shouldnt take you that long to do the swap , i pulled my ls , assem. the B16/gsr thing lol and installed the turbo kit and motor in a afternoon

 

everything should be interchangable i believe. not quite sure on what tbelt to use. i believe the waterpump and oil pumps are the same too.

 

just use the B16 timing belt from a 99-00 Si its what i used without issues . like i said the only problems i can remember having was the water neck on the back of the block and the thermo housing . due to the water port that is built into the gsr intake manifold . other then that everything bolted up fine make sure you use a gsr headgasket though . haha this is one hell of a mutt motor now that i think about it , works well though.

 

boost on stock internals? , PSI?, Turbo? ( figured C/R should b 10.45:1 +/- on parts I'm runnin) used P72 ECU for intake bypass valve?

 

yep it was boosted . 302whp i used a cometic thicker headgasket too so my cr wasnt that high

 

Nice

 

would it have handled moer than 8

 

its not psi you worry about its your hp and ive seen people run way more on stock internals

 

always wondered what kind of HP honda internals would handle do you know of any lists, sumthing??, do you know if honda cranks r forged or cast.

 

Honda crankshafts are forged

 

Figured so
