What is it Ls or GSR cuz they are two different swaps... But if you have a
B18C1 blook i would go wit a B16 head. One more thing what really happen to you OEM head in the first place?

[actek988]

body is ls. motor is full gsr . seals are def blown...bad valves...and why go with the b16 head?

bump

Bro just rebuild the gsr head...the Gsr head is the best head for the Gsr block which is why Honda put it together in the first place. There isn't much difference between the bseries vtec heads unless you're upgrading valetrain/cam and doing a valve job

the head swap bumps compression ratio slightly higher, creating a more powerful and racy engine. It also provides more flow. This combination makes not only more power, but improved throttle response and what most people don't realize is a higher revving capability. this is very good because instead of up shifting to something like 5,800rpm, you hit something like 6,200rpm, this is closer to maximum torque and horsepower providing a great deal of power, right when you need it up shifting.

X2 yeah mennnnnnnnnnnnnn

[panch]

B16 head is the way to go

b16 ports/gsr chambers IS the way to go...

[actek988]

head is off and ready to be diag/cleaned up. #4 exhaust port is gross. as well as the piston top. only cylinder with oil/carbon visibly wet/gunked up. cylinder head bolt #10 stripped out the block as well... waitin for my mech to come take a look before i send everything out and make the next step...

X2. only thing different between b16 and b18c1 head is that there is slightly more compression in the c1 head. I would just build the GSR head, then boost i!! G/L on whatever you choose, just remember, you get what you pay for.

thats right the beast head is the gsr thats why i have one build up nd yea u should deff build it up ist the bestes head for any b series build stay with your gsr u can uyp grad the valvtran to the itr by useing the better internals like vave spring...keep your head its the bestes head trust..b16 is pritty much the saim but the internals is diffent u can put them in to the gsr head all day..trust stick with what u got nd build it..
