Wondering if anyone knows if the girdle from the type-r will fit on a B16? And if so what parts will I need and what mods?

Thanks

 

why do you want one? do you think it will help or something?
LOL i have a ef too.
well the B16a don't really need it because they have a much better rod to stroke ratio which means that less frition, heat, and stess on the block it self......so simply put if you have a regualar B16 with I/h/e/ and other small goodies and some good gams you still won't need it. unless you reving your B16a above the 9.500rpms..... but i highly doubt that your cams can make power that high.
peace Hope that helps.

Oh... not sure if ITR/GSR block guirdle will fit the b16a.
But I do know that they will work in B18, B20.

if you really want one get a Z10. they make it specifially for it so you won't ahve to do any mods.

 

Z10 will work fine but just as Charlie said you don't really need it on a B16...but it does help with vibration on the bottom end. You'll notice when assembling a bottom end with a girdle how much stiffer it really is just being connected to 3 main caps.. Latez

I'm going with high boost / nitrous and I thought it would be good security. Its not just for a stock B16.

 

Yea it's a good thing to have like we were saying, and with those mods you would be fine stock too. With your setup depending on how much you do, it's a good thing to have but there is nothing that makes you absolutely need it.. I like the B18C the best. Comes with a girdle, R/S isn't really bad, good power, and reliable. Laterz
