Need a basic lay out on how to get the right setup on the "poor mans type r" i have the head and block and i am ready to start putting together

what do i need ecu wise and what gaskets will i run and other little things that need to be done any post will be a help im not clueless just trying to get it done right

 

b18c gsr block
b16a head
type-r pistons
type-r cams
type-r intake manifold

For ecu ,you'll need something custom since i doubt you'll convert to obd2 and run the original type-r ecu..You have to decide if you want to stat obd0 or go obd1,,but either way you'll end up with a chipped ecu..

 

throw in an LS crank too

Why would he want to do that? then he would need ls rods as well,,which is a major degrade for the whole purpose of this motor,which is to rev high.......

 

was thinking he was using aftermarket rods. too much time in the FI forum.

 

why would i have to purchase

cams
pistons
and intake manny
why wouldnt my b16 intake manny and cams work in there?

just asking

 

they would work.


but then it wouldnt really be a poor mans <FONT COLOR="red">R</FONT>, now would it?


it would be a poor mans, GSR.

 

lol got it i got b18c5 pistons and rods ordered i will do the cam and intake work later not enough doe right now but thanks guys for the help

 

cool, good luck.


used cams go for about $300. so it probably wont be that hard to get some.

 

lol got it i order pistons and rods for a b18c5 but i will to cam and intake work later

about the chipped ecu i am 0bd1 right now what should i do about that or would that work on there with the head and block

you dont need rods..just the pistons

since you're obd1 already that's a good start..I'm assuming you have the p30 ecu since you have a b16a? If so, you can use that on the new motor,it will run it fine but eventually you'll want to get it chipped with a tune thats better for that motor.Since there's no obd1 type-r fuel and timing map available,you'll have to get a custom tune thats worked .Ive seen most use gsr maps as their start then work from there..
