i have a couple questions on putting a b16 head on a GSR block:

1) which crank pulley and timing belt?
2) any wiring? (both head and block are OBD1)
3) which motor mounts? (can i use the same ones from my b16 in my 5th gen?)
4) same shift linkage and axels as from my b16 block?
5) anything else i should know?

TIA
adam

1) gs-r
2)wiring is same. no need for iab
3)same mounts
4)same linkage
5)use your B16 pistons in your gs-r block if you are going N/A

Why would you want to do that and lose compression

 

i think he was wonderiung why you would put the b16 head on a GSR. If i remember correctly it actually hurts power. Someone back me up w/ the reason why. And no one try to chastise me by saying that they use that head on the type R so it must be better.

 

doesn't hurt power when it's a JG head.

 

it will when that jg head is ported for high compression and you dont have high compression and lose velocity. everything is built to work together. high compression with big cams and good port flow.

 

yes and that is why there pistons and cams in there
