Get the cylinders honed, take your head to a machine shop, choose what components you are going to use and start pricing/purchasing them. And be prepared to spend more than you thought you would have to.

Ok if you're talkin about taking my head to the machine shop are u talking about port and polish? Or are you talkin about takin it to the machine shop just to make it fit on the gsr block? :confused: I'm ordering the whole skunk 2 valvetrain with stage 2 cams, which is like 1600 so thats settle. I'll worry about the bottom end later. I'm just tryin to see if it'll fit on my b16 head with out any modifications.

This is what I found out...B16 head will fit but you will lose compression. Head flows better than a GSR but need to get head shaved to compensate. Build your block too with good pistons, like JDM CTR...:)
