question about engine
OKay I tried looking for it but I couldn't find it or didn't know what to put for the search engine. If I'm going to put a b16a head on a 97gsr block do I just build the bottom half gsr and put gsr cams in the head?
Well what are you trying to achieve? Yea you can build the bottom, put some high compression pistons and whatever you want... but why would you put gsr cams? I head many people say that the b16 cams have better flow... Now if you want to get aftermarket stage cams go ahead, but otherwise i would keep the b16 cams...

I was hoping to get atleast around 190hp from the engine, only reason I have a b16 is that I only have tthe bottom end of a gsr, block/tranny and dont have a head for it, so I got a b16 from a friend. I plan on upgrading the head later when I have more money but right now I just want to put this engine together with some decent power because my b18a has alot of miles on it(stupid ass dealership lied about how many miles were on the car said it only have 96k when I bought it a year ago, checked it out on line about 7 months later and found out in 01 it had 104k on it. I cant even do anything about it which really pisses me off), I'm gonna put forged pistons and rods in the block because I plan on putting a turbo on it later on. Everything in the head is gonna be stock, unless I should put gsr cams in the head then I'll do that is the gsr will work better then the b16's.
