Thinking about going Vtec. Which would i see better performance with? Should i pay the extra money for a gsr head or stick with the cheaper B16 head? gracias

 

go w/a b16 head.

If you use a GSR head you're stuck using a GSR intake manifold or skunk2 (bling bling, $$$).

using a b16 head you can use a ITR/CTR intake, or b16, or b17.

yeah def use the B16 head

 

the gsr head will make more power than the b16. but the b16 head will coast less

 

i'd take the GSR head, the GSR head will have a bit of higher compression

 

does anyone know the compression ratio differences between the two using a stock ls integra head gasket? -thanks

 

I believe the GSR head bumps compression by about .2

 

B16 buddy. You will love it.

 

b16 it supposeedly flows better for one and you can more then likely find one cheaper.

 

id go GSR plus I found my Skunk2 Mani for 200

 

get a b16 head and rev the hell out the motor

 

either one will do you good -- the gsr will bump the compression a bit but cost more. unless you got the good deal it all really matters on the ending power or set up -- meaning the place you want the car to be at when the car is "Finished" good luck either way --- BUDDY

Nice Post. Either way, you will come out a Happy Camper

 

agreed the gsr head will raise comp by.2 basically nothing. either head will suit your needs but gsr is usually more $$$. if you are going for all out power then use the gsr if not the b16 is cool

 

I think we got it figured out ----- new dyno number's should be up in a day or so..

 

i would use a b16 head this is from a guy with a gsr block. The b16 doesnt flow alot better than a b18c head but its cheaper and alot more parts available. Plus if you want to bump compression mill head or high compression pistons are good. Besides if you are going to rev it you need new rods and why not pistons while your at it.

both are fine, different combustion chamber designs, but both pretty much have the same potential. I'd prolly go with the b16 head simply because they're more readily available and cheaper.

 

I would go with the b16 head and then get the ctr cams

 

1.8 ltr with stock b16 head and fuel pressure regulator and some tuning will make 165+ hp and 125+ tq all day long

 

B16 it is, thanks everyone for ur posts.........wuttup Jason see u tuesday

gsr head w/ ctr cams and use ctr pistons.

skunk2 manifold or take the butterflies out of the stock gsr manifold.

 

300 bucks is not much to spend when you look @ your overall gains. plus l@ter u can add a throttle body $ air intake

 

id go crower
