Hey, i've got a LS non v-tec getting ready to vtec it, what head would you guys recomend ? most people are sayin GSR around here.

 

it depends on how far you wanna go with it!

 

GSR or B16 head...

I've heard that the B16 flows better... Dont quote me on that....

 

use a vtec one.

What he said.....I am doing the same thing and am using the B16 (built though with Type AAAARRRRR cams and Ferrera valves and valve springs.

 

i'd say type r if you got the cash, but a gsr head will do

 

the one in my avatar? oh cylinder head

 

depends on what you want to do, a gsr head will give you higher compression off the bat than a b16/type r head, however the pr3 heads do flow better...its up to you. Some more info would be helpful.

 

I just want the most power for around 2100 installed... I know I probably can't get a C5 head for that installed, but ive got some quotes for 1700 ish for a C1 head... I just want the most for the money.. Don't really have a lot to build the head right now either, just put a stock head in.

p.s, obviosuly im going to be using a vtec head.. duh ..

 

i would reccomend a type r head for the job cause my boy runs it on his civic and and it hauls

hold up hold up hold up,...2100 is for the motor AND installed on your car right??? and 1700 ish is for the whole LSvtec motor right,..if its 1700 just for the head your gettting RIPPED,...and if its 2100 just for installation,..your gettting ripped again,...clarify your post please

 

I say Type-R, and when you don't feel like LS-VTEC anymore, get a Type R block.

 

thats how much ive been quoted at 3 places for the head, manifold and everything installed.

 

cheap, bare b16 head
portflow port + polish
new valvetrain + cams

 

one said vtec.. i hope

 

get a old school b16 first gen head, you can get them cheap. send it to portflow, and youll still be under 1700. thats what im in the process of doin.

I agree with this statement.

 

B16's head flow the most, don't waste your time on a GSR or Type R Head, a B16 head is one of the best to use with a LS/VTEC + it's the cheapest

Yeah dont waste your time on a type r head cause b16's flow the most (just givein ya a hard time you were saying it like b16 head flows more than a type r)
If you can afford type r go for it. When your bulding your motor you can get pistons to whatever spec you want so you dont have to worry about the compression ratio being lower with a pr3 head.
You can also get your type r or b16 head milled to up the compression a little more.
I would either get a b16 and build it with ferrea valves, skunk2 springs and retainers and skunk 2 cams for amild all motor application.
Or get a type r and keep it a stock head maybe with a good set of cams. Or you can bild t and sell the stock parts anf gain some of yor money back. Just depends on what deals you can find.
just my .02

 

anything but a gsr head.

 

Could someone provide facts as to why the pr3 heads are better than the p72 heads?

 

I dotn really know where to look for "facts" how the pr3 heads are better that p72.
Facts are.
pr3 flows better stock vs stock and even ported p72 vs stock pr3 is close.
but the p72 gives higher compression
stock IM's are better on pr3

This is just my .02.

That is totally wrong. Look at the flowcharts at http://www.alaniztechnologies.com
