Hey i was wondering if this would work alright? If so what kinda of hp is it rated or guessed to be at? Thanks.

 

I've seen 189 whp. Check out http://www.importreview.com - Under Steve's B16...

 

werd, the only major difference between the heads is the gsr has smaller combustion chamber, which raises compression a little. And of course the dual runner intake mani, but that can be swapped out. Everything else is just mods.

 

So is it even worth it?

 

it does work yes

 

If you're looking soley to get a dohc vtec head for the block, then do it. If you're thinking about removing the stock b16 one to replace it with, then I'd just put the money into mods.

 

sure it'll wrk but why would u do that , b16 head is a better head

 

Ive done it, Im driving it everyday, and I can assure you it does work and works well. It will raise the CR about .2, though, so take that into account. The GSR head does not flow as well at mid-lift as a Pr3 head, but it flows BETTER at low lift and at maximum lift. Im not making this up, search under flow charts, or head differences, I cant remember where it is. Also, GSR cams, according to http://www.crower.com have one degree less lift on the exhaust side, but considerably more duration than 99-00 Si cams.

I kept the dual stage intake manifold to help boost low RPM power (something B16's notably lack). It works fine as long as you have a P72 ECU to operate the secondary butterflies. I have every "bolt-on" imaginable, and the car pulls well from 2,000RPM on. The torque isn't great, but its consistent at all RPM. 4,400 RPM will be the crossover point when using the GSR ecu, but you may need to get that changed due to the different cylinder filling properties of the high rod-ratio b16 block. I kept mine stock for now, but ill play around with it when I get the hondata installed on this engine.

My only gripe with this engine (and this in no way means yours will do this) is a slight surge in power at light throttle/closed loop operation. It almost feels as if the timing is jumping around on me....

Anyway, do it, its a great package.

good to see you like it

check my sig for my times

basic bolt-ons

 

hey i been looking around for 20 mins now and everyone is just asking what hp and if its good or not. im asking is it a bolt on? or do u need anything else. b/c i was going to do a crvtec but then i saw the gas price $3.00. so i have a b16 obd 1 head and looking for a GSR or B16 bottom. so is it a direct bolt on?
