Will a gsr head fit on a b16 block with CTR pistons and cams without valves hitting? Stupid question, but no result in the search......and just want to make sure....

 

I would think so, if the B16 head fit then the GSR should fit.

 

thats what i was thinking, but i didnt know if gsr valves were maybe longer than b16's especially where ctr pistons are domed, even though they've got valve slots in them......

 

it will fit just fine.

 

if the engine is out of the car i would do some what if scenarios just to be 100%

 

It'll work fine and your compression will wend up at about 11.5-11.8:1.

b18c1 GSR's P72 head has a squared combusion chamber, where the b16a is circular and slightly larger volume, so with the b18c1 head, the compression is slightly higher than a b16a/ITR PR3 head.

 

you take a simple question and you make a paragraph :\

 

nah thats what i wanted to know i mean i knew the gsr head had higher compression than the b16, and since my plan is NA thats golden....

I guess my next question is how thin of a head gasket can I go with the same set up?? I mean will 2 layer mugen work alright?

Thanks for the input fellas, its appreciated.
