hey im interested in buying this DA9 with a b18c1 swap.. but only thing is i wanted a itr IM.. so would it be a good idea to switch the head with a b16 cause i know ITR IM won't fit the gsr head. so honda/integra people, give me some info/opinion. thanks!

 

The poor who couldnt go type r did this lol im j/k but ppl have called this set up the "poor mans type r" But go for it. No one has ever complained with the results they have gotten with this set up. Cheers mate

 

cool thanks.. i live in cali so reason why i want it is cause i heard that any b18 swap can go into integra and doesn't have to be bar'd cause it is b18 and i have an ej so i don't want to go with the hassle of gettin a ls non vtec and go ls vtec with it. i don't mind but its the gettin my car bar'd that i don't like. lol..

 

get a skunk2 or blox intake manifold and the proper ecu/tune

 

Yeh that bar thing really sucks from what i hear. Im glad we dont have that BS in new york

 

I'm 90% sure you will still need to bar it in CA. But it is a USDM engine so it shouldn't be a problem.

if I were in your situation I would bar it before putting the b16 head on there. because they will look at the block, which if it is USDM will say B18C1, and then the head would say p30 or pr3 or something instead of p72.

But hey maybe I am wrong and you don't need to bar it, check this thread out on G2IC.

The PR3 (B16) head will lower the compression of your B18C1. Get the Skunk2 or Blox IM. Check for your golden CARB certification.

In reality, the IM is not what you need at this point. Cams will provide more bang for the buck. I still run the stock B18C1 IM.

 

yea i know.. i was gonna go ls vtec and bar my ls the do the switch over but then i changed my mind and gonna give the motor to my bro and im just gonna do the gsr/b16

 

just get an old school skunk2 IM for the GSR head, same shiz as the ITR manifold and less work for better power



my old school skunk2 GSR IM...

 

gsr block, itr internals, b16 head,GRADE A POWER

 

If you seperate the internals, the ITR and GSR block are identical. Oh heck, even the CTR block is the same.

 

if you use itr internals your stoke ratio goes up making it a itr

 

ITR and GSR have identical rod lengths and strokes. Where are you getting your information?

 

shouldnt have a problem with this build.. run itr internals and you got a poor mans type r
