i'm wonder how my car will run with a jdm b16a bottom end with a fully built gsr head lmk asap b/c i'm looking to do that or going back to an ls vtec lmk what would be better and which head gasket i would use gsr or b16 don't know if there is even a difference in the two thanks alot

well if you do the gsr with b16bottom the car will run the same as if it was a B16,save up and use your built gsr head on a gsr or Lsvtec

i have a ls vtec now but it smokes so what you are saying is a ls vtec is better than a b16 with the gsr head

just rebuild your lsvtec then you have a nice FREASH reliable motor.and you can use lil extra monet and make the bottom at strong as the topend

ls/v-tec all the way.

what do you mean by "Fully built GSR head", whats done to it?

skunk 2 stage 2 cams valves retainers seats dual valve spring port and polished 3 angle valve job like i said fully built

Who ever said a b16 with a gsr head is the samething as if it had the b16 head is crazy. The gsr head has a way bigger combustion chamber than the b16 the intake ports on the head are at a diffrent angle than the b16 the gsr head is twice better flowing than any bseries head. Plus with the gsr head you will automatically raise the compression depending on the bottem end if you have the newer jdm b16 motor with the p30 pistons and the right head gasket (by the way both heads use the same headgasket) compression will almost be close to 12.2.1

so what you are saying is that the jdm b16 bottom end would'nt be a bad idea

wow i cant begin to tell you how much of this is wrong. the gsr head has SMALLER combustion chambers, which is why there is an instant rise in compression when u use it over a b16 head. and while the b16 ports are at a different angle, the gsr head DOES NOT flow any better than all b series heads out there. in fact both a b16 and a gsr head flow about the same, with each having an advantage at a different point of lift. the TYPE R head is the head that out flows all other b series heads bc its factory ported/polised. and on another note....to get 12.2:1 compression u need to run a head gasket thinner than a piece of paper if ur using p30 pistons.

i really hope this clears some things up. dunno where all that info came from but i did tons of research b4 i did my ls vtec conversion about which head to get. but on a side not a gsr head on a b16 cant hurt. the extra compression is always a plus.
