I searched through about 50 pages using the forum search as well as the google search, but i couldn't find my answer. I found similiar threads but the opposite of what i am asking, such as b16 block w/ gsr head, or typer block w/ gsr head.
I am thinking of buying a b16 xsi swap w/lsd. I know that the b16 has no torque, and this is where my question comes.
Pretty much my plan is to get a gsr bottom end, and use the b16 head to have a 1.8L motor with torque. I know i need an other intake manifold because the b16 manifold was not made for a 1.8L motor. I'll probably get a skunk2 IM.
My main conern is will the head be a bolt on deal on the gsr block or will it be more complicated.
My other conern is will i lose compression, or power by using the b16 head. I know the type-r uses the pr3 head which is the same as the b16 head, so i think it will work with the gsr block. I just want to make sure, and by the way i plan on keeping it stock at first. So my question deals with a stock b16 head on a stock gsr bottom end.
Power wise, will this be pretty much the same as the gsr, or will it be less? Would i have more torque than a b16 with this set up? Are there any problems with this set-up?
Dont tell me to just get a gsr swap, because i cannot afford it.
Also if i were to decide to get mild cams(skunk2) someday would the b16 head still work with this set-up or would i need to have it ported?
