Can I do this or do I need a GSR head? What are the pros and cons? What about a type r block and B16 head?

Thanks!

 

Pros:
More torque
Main girdle
B16 flow characteristics are better at high rpms

Cons:
slightly weaker R:S ratio
lower CR with B16 head

A Type R engine is basically a B18C block (with factory strengthened internals and higher compression pistons) mated with a B16 head. I'm running this setup currently and love it.

Anyone else?

 

throw in some p30 pistons and have higher compression then the type r
or the civic type r pistons

Just to clarify, the P30's will yield higher compression than the ITR pistons but not the CTR pistons. ITR pistons in a B18C with a B16 head is a very strong reliable street setup.

 

Any B18C or specifically C1 (gsr) or C5 (type r)?

 

i'm running the same setup but with jdm itr pistons
