i have a 1990 crx si and i have a b16 short block and might buy a mildly built b16 head but they r not put together and not totally complete. i also have a gsr head that is ported and polished. i wasthinking of building my gsr head up with toda racing parts. so should i build up my gsr or just keep my b16?

i say do the b16 head

 

well a straight b16 or waht?

 

I say get a b18c block and build a poorman's r.

 

herhe but i already have a gsr head. of a 96'

 

Since you have the b16 block and head stay with b16. The gsr head will have less compression on that block thus lower horsepower. Also, the gsr head flows only slighty better than a b16 at higher lift (10mm > ).

 

well which motor has the most potential? gsr or b16?

correct me if im wrong but i could've swore a gsr head produces higher compression than a b16 head, and a b16 head flows better. I think u got it backwards.
