i dont think the gsr head on the b16 will make it faster than a gsr bc it still wont have the tq. hope this helped.
+1.... I would put a gsr block with the b16 head... use the mugen or spoon head gasket when you do so, its thicker and will increase your compresion... Idk if i would use ctr pistions, just for the fact they are still oem pistions.... if your going to do a build i would just invest and do it right the first time....
