i was wondering if i put a 2001 gsr block on a 99 CTR head would it run faster being that the ctr block is a 1.6 compared to the gsr block being a 1.8? or should i keep my ctr the way it is now by not switching the head? any comments will be appreciated.

 

you would get more power out of it. A lot of people put B16B/B18C5 heads on B16/B18 blocks to gain hp. The cams alone would give you a good deal of power increase on an N/A application.

 

why dont you just get a type r head. from there you could make make it a type r cause gsr's and type r's have the same block

 

Ummm.. he is getting a type r head. Read it again. GSR block, CTR head. h:

 

i meant ITR head. im not sure about the compatibility issues between a 1.8 block and 1.6 head

 

I'm thinking cause he already has the B16B motor and wants the extra .2L... not sure though...

 

If he already has a B16B, all he needs is the crank and rods from a B18C. That should be way cheaper then the whole block, or a little closer (but still cheaper) if he gets aftermarket rods.

 

Why change the block??? If you have the the B16B like me looks into something like this:

I am :thumbup:

 

What's the point in buying a Spoon kit when you can use a factory B18A/B rod and crank combo or a B18C rod and crank combo? Both will give around 1800cc, just without the Spoon name.

 

but its spoon! :eek3: h: :jdm:
