Well, a buddy of mine has a B16A (JBM OBD-0) head mated to a B18C1 (GSR) block. Is this a pretty stout combo? Also GSR cams were installed in place of the B16A cams, is that a benefit?
I'm excited, I get to drop it in an EF hatch tomorrow

i dont know for sure but from what i hear the b16 head flows the best and the gsr cams are better, try gettin type r cams if possible.

Well, he already purchased and installed the GSR cams so thats what will be used.

the gsr cams will show good gains if tuned properly because they have a few more degrees of duration

The b16 head holds really nicely, because my friend has a B20/Vtec where his B16a2 head is over his B20 (CRV) shortblock and a GSR tranny and GSR Cams with ITR stock pistons and rings within it and he is an all motor beast within his 00 SI Coupe, so i believe that the head is able to hold the GSR bottom end and the cams do present better Valve duration, meaning that the Valves opening and closing will be a big different in time compared to the b16a1 cam duration width. That is a good setup, but the only thing i can tell you might be a problem is that the bottom end is gonna be beastly retarded in the since that the B16 will have to control itself and sometimes the Head might either blow a hole within it, or slightly crack, or blow head gaskets like crazy since the head is a First generation B16 head working with sophisticated internals "GSR Cam Lobes", Just make sure it's tuned right which is a key factor aswell, or else it's gonna run like shit, compared to what it can do. Good Luck
