Possible to switch intake manifold from b16a to b18c1?
 

Looking into skunk2 intake manifolds for my b16, but I don't know if i'll be able to hook it up to future gsr motor, are all b series motors' parts pretty much interchangeable?

Funny you should mention this, I just read an old article in one of my magazines (the same one with the Lotus vs. Mustang article) about a guy with a Frankenstein B-series engine - he had a B18A block, B18C5 head, and B16A intake manifold. So yeah, you should be ok.

Stay away from the b18c1 (GSR) manifold. Damn secondary runners....

the b16 manifold will not fit. even if its aftermarket. different bolt patterns.

We've got one vote for "it will work" and one vote for "it won't work," so which one is it? Yay or nay?

nay. the b18c5 head is the same as a b16 head and both are different from a gsr head.

That is right. The b16 head and the type r head have the same intake manifold bolt pattern. Thus the gsr head having its own bolt pattern.

You're right - I just confirmed this myself. I guess the guy in my magazine redrilled..?!? Who knows. Sorry for the misleading "yea" though.

you said in your post he had a b18c5 head. thus the b16 manifold would fit.

LOL! I misread my own post. I thought I had written C1, not C5. But I have a friend whose dad had a 93 Prelude S with a B18C1 in it (long story), and he mistakenly thought the B16 manifold would fit. It didn't, and he was luckily able to return it.
