B16A/B18C head

I've been looking to buy a GSR and i saw one with a B16A block with a B18c1 head. How reliable of a motor would this be and how it would measure up to just a stock B18c1? I also so a 'teg with a B20. What car is the B20 taken from and how do they compare to a B18c? thx for any info. :iceslolan

The b16 with a B18C1 head is dumb IMO, b/c the B16A head flows better than the B18C1. If you want a VTEC integra then get the GSR or ITR. Don't buy something with a swap etc. :2cents:

Isn't the B16 head the best head?

How would a B18A1 block with a B16 work out? I'm thinking about selling this slow ass Civic and getting a 90-93 teg and putting a B16 head on it...

Well as far as LS/VTEC goes that is about the best combo, but I am now not really a fan of the LS/VTEC. It is alright but I think either get a gsr or keep the b18b/a. My :2cents:

im my opinon :p

b20 comes out of crv. its what I got in my storage unit. cant wait to FINALLY use it. I bought a teg to put it in but then before I swapped, went into a ditch and now the engine sits in there kinda crooked so i didnt wanna try and get th4e mounts all bolted back cuz I can see lots of stress on them. I am thinking now of getting a 2nd gen and doing it since it is cheaper. but the B20 compared to the B18C1, it has a ton of torque but doesnt rev like the B18C and isnt equipped with VTEC. but you can always take care of that little problem.

The B18C head has actually been shown to flow SLIGHTLY better than the b16a head. stock vs stock. I've seen a chart from a flow bench of the two heads. When you put a B16A head on a B18C block, you lose like .2 compression points due to the different design of the combustion chambers. The B16A has a round style one, while the B18C is more squared. they have different volumes, and alter compression. A B18C head would probably raise the compression of a 10.2:1 B16A to 10.4:1. assuming it was assembled properly, and both block and head are in proper working order, then it shoud be perfectly reliable. You have to run the P72 gsr Intake Manifold w/ secondary runners...or get an aftermarket intake manifold like a Skunk2 with the B18C head tho. The P73 ITR I/M wont bolt up, cuz the ITR B18C(5,6) utilitizes a modified B16 head. :smokin:

since the original thread posters questions have been answered... what are your plans WHTTEG for your car?

Wow Im an idiot ... that was 94tegRS, not WHTTEG.. my bad...my question has been reinstated :screwy:

Man are you alright spectre? j/k ;)

:p yeah... I asked what your plans were, then 94tegRS replied and for some reason I thought it was you... and he was saying all the stuff he was going to do to his car and I saw his sig and it also had all his mods. Then I looked and it was him, so I meant for the question to go back out, because I still dont know what your car plans are. confusing :icon16:

Well if all goes as planned it will be a 8500 rpm LS with ............. later to be released :icon16:

:grinno: messed up. top secret, eh? alrighty... :sly: BTW, since I'm writing this already, where's a good place to buy some AMSOIL(from the other thread) in bulk. I searched ebay and nothing really came up for me... they even suggested I search for 'assoil' instead. :screwy: Thanks

I can get you anything you want for the cheapest price possible. I am a dealer :icon16: I don't really make any money off of it though me and a friend went in halfs on a dealership so we could buy it cheaper. If you need amy just let me know and I can have some drop shipped to you.

Thatd be nice. How much for 43 quarts and 10 filters? unless you have set bulk amounts. Another question.. how often do you change your oil. I usually do so every 2-3,000 miles. 3,000 preferably

Sorry kinked210. B16head on a b18b would be good. Or just do like WHTTEG said. :2cents: turbo'd b18s are vedy nice.

I will have to Pm you tomorrow about the oil, do you really want 43 qts :icon16: anyway I change mine every 10K miles. Amsoil claims that is is good for 25K miles but I drive my car hella hard and I cannot bring myself to go that long. I just change the filter at 5K miles and do filter and oil at 10K. My friend has been doing the 25K with a filter at 12.5K for 3 years now but I am not even going to try it, I love the car too much and I am investing too much money into it to run broken down oil in it.

Anyway I will Pm you tomorrow.
