I've heard that putting a b16 head on a gsr bottom end will perform better than just a gsr. I was wondering if anyone is running this setup and what the difference in peformance is, and if it is worth me building it. thanks.

search...there are TONS of those topics already. its called a poor mans type-r.

 

thanks

 

No you cant just slap a B16 head on and expect better power , in fact you will probalbly lose power because the combustion chamber on the GSR is smaller and if you go B16 you will lose compression and quench . The poor mans ITR is B16 pistons in a GSR and a B16 head but there is much debate over what head is better personally I would never take off a GSR head and replace it with a B16 just not worth it . Most dynos show the GSR head making a little better power . In any case its not worth the trouble .

 

I have this set up on my car, 4 the price it's good. i put a thinner headgasket to make up for the compression loss

 

keep your gsr head
