I have a 98 b18c and we're takin it out tomorrow because the tranny is querin off right now and well my friend just sold me his b16 head and im gonna put it on then. Now what i wanna know is should i put my gsr cams in the head or put the b16's back in there? I've heard the gsr's will give SLIGHTLY more power...prolly not even enough to worry about. But Someone also told me they lobes on the b16's are larger and would give me more power. I have both sets so I just wanna put the ones in the would best satisfy me. Oh yea and im keeping it all motor by the way. Thanks guys

 

OK well i guess im gonna just have to guess...im gonna go with gsr's unless someone tells me different

 

gsr

 

b16

 

gsr

 

GSR cams.

Keep the P72 head. It's better for all motor sans the dual runner intake manifold. You'll also lose some compression with the PR3 head.

 

GSR, they are better than people think. They tend to make better midrange power, and work better with a lower vtec engagement point.

 

stock for for stock a B16 had flows slightly better than a GS-R head, but liek JDM said, you gain a little compression witha gsr head due to the smaller combustion chambers. Cam wise, I would go for the GS-R cams untill you can find concrete specs on lift/duration for the two cams. I think the B16 cams are a little bigger, though....somebody post cams specs

 

Here is the link, looks like gsr cams are the same as the jdm 1st gen B16a.

Everything is bigger than 1st gen B16 (automatics being the smallest)
