FS: Rare P8R head off of a B20
SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's some info about the head, if you haven't heard of these:
Exactly which models of Hondas in Japan that received this head is still unclear. Most of the B20's that are imported to the US have the same head as the US B20's. For whatever reason though, honda deceided to use a different on a small number of the JDM b20 engines.
The head casting code for these heads is: P8R. I purchased one of these heads a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to taking some measurements of it. What I found was that the P8R heads have three distinct differences from the other B18a and B18b heads.
1.) The P8R heads received larger, VTEC sized intake valves (33mm vs the nonvtec 31mm). You can assume that the valve seat has been opened up significantly to accomodate the larger diameter valve, which in turn means greater air flow in the later rpms, which is where the other nonvtec heads fall flat on their face.
2.) The bore of the combustion chamber is opened up to 84mm to match that of the B20 cylinders for better burn effeciency.
3.) Wider intake ports than the B18a, but smaller than the B18c or B16a.
Here's some pics, didn't have time to clean the head up b4 takinig pics:



I'm selling the complete head with stock cams, cam caps, valve cover, etc
SOLD!!!!!!!!!
