I've been frantically looking for a B18C Head/Valve Cover from a reputable web site. Like JDM-online.com etc. But I haven't came up with anything. Everything I've found is P2P type thing or its a full swap. Any1 kno a website that I can just buy 1 that's guaranteed? B16A would work to but I wanna stick with the B18C. Anything you guys can throw at me would b great

 

Craigslist? just a thought

 

Well ya, but unfortunately where I am located JDM is not very common. Everything down here is all USDM. I'm like 1 of 3 people who have a honda n this town. That's y I wanna website that I can order 1 from. But I don't think I wanna do P2P neways cuz I wanna b guaranteed to have everything I need and also have a guarantee it operates.

 

ummm look on password jdm.... sometimes they sell used motor parts. also look at speedfactoryracing.net

this what ur looking for?

 

also i went to that jdm-online.com u posted and it sucks. all there info is wrong like the b18c gsr making 193hp. lol and the b16b making 210 hp with 134 tq.

 

Lol ya.well let me clarify. I wanna do a LS/Vtec soon and from wat I've read it sounds like ill need the LS/vtec swap kit and a B series Valve cover and a B series vtec head? Is this correct if not then maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. Sum1 just wrecked my EJ2 and I'm getting a nice settlement soon.

 

if your going ls-vtec, you should go with the b16 vtec head,b18c also works but i heard b16 will be beter for ls-vtec

 

yea for a lsv you need a b18 a or b (ls) block, a B series vtec head, and i like the golden eagle LSV conversion kit. you will need a ECU that will support vtec as well. and last but not least dont forget a tune.

 

the b18c head is better then a b16, its a type r head. the b18C1 is the gsr head which will be outflowed by a b16 head. IMO the b16 head w/ a valve grind and some valve work is just as good as a type r head... as long as its running the ITR cams.

 

Lol that's wat I thought. I already have the GSR lined up that I'm getting. And I have my xmas list to myself lined up also :-). I got everything prepped and ready to order after I get my check. But I'm missing 1 important part. I am missing my vtec head. I found a vavle cover I want and even the ecu I want, and I am getting the GE kit it looks the most promising to me. But I'm still missing a VTEC head

 

Type r head better than b16 head? Of course it is. A type r head IS a b16 head.... But with a port and polish and upgraded valvetrain.So by upgrading your valvetrain and pnp you are making it a type r. And if your going to buy a head just to rip everything out and replace it anyways; why are you looking for a "guaranteed operational" head?

Anyways you said your looking for a gsr head not a type r. And imo b16>gsr.
B16 flows better and has better intake manifold (almost like type r) and the gsr's ugly a$$ double butterfly manifold aint helping.
B16 is much easier to come by
The ONLY thing the gsr has is that it raises compression a little because of its combustion chamber but you can achieve higher compression by other means like a thinner gasket.

So really think out Why you want the gsr head as opposed to the b16. And reconsider to see if its worth spending more cash

 

well to b honest i really dont care wat head i get my hands on. im just more focused on getting one. and i can go w a b16, i jus wanted to stick with the whole integra feel. u kno B18B B18C head? etc.. but ive read that before about the vavletrain and PNP. and i will take watever. so if any of u guys can find 1 that i can order ill b a happy guy. and i dont think i want to change everything out if i dont have to. the only thing i think i mighchange if i have enuff money is pistons.

 

it kinda sounds to me like wat im looking for might not exist. everytime i hear of sum1 getting a head its P2P or from a friend. so maybe ill jus do P2P. but i have a pretty good feeling im gunna have to drive like 3+ hrs to kansas to get 1.
