May 15, 2005 · im not really thinkin ls vtec although if i do run a turbo i will need to run the lines. i already have a gsr long block so im just looking for displacement from the b20a5 bottom end and mount the gsr head on the b20a5 bottom although i do believe i have to use head studs or move a few around for head alighnment hmm....

Sep 28, 2004 · EDIT : here is a link to one of the forums I subscribe to. It has some great pics of some b16a, type R, and gsr heads. The gsr also has differently shaped ports to allow the air to flow into and out of the head with less turning. I'd suggest a gsr …

Oct 29, 2003 · hey bro i had the same problem, i had a gsr in my ek coup i was red lining 3rd and missed 4th & hit 2nd i then herd a loud knocking nois i pulled my engen apart & found a spun rod bering it was so bad that even my crank was no good so i used a b16 block and put ls piston head cus i was told gsr head on b16 block would lower compression so i lowerd it even more 8:5 it still felt pretty fast on ...

Dec 26, 2003 · the GSR does flow a "tad" more cfm in the midrange the PR3 head b16/itr head flows a tad more cfm up top over the GSR. I would go with a B16 head because the cost of one versus a GSr head is about half.

Jul 2, 2006 · Now for the head installation...begin by sliding the LS/CRV (90-01 LS or 96-00 CRV, whichever block you have) head gasket over the head studs onto the block. Now install the dowel pins into the exhaust side of the head (for lsvtec motors). Slide the head over the head studs and rest on the block. Make sure the dowel pins line up as this is ...

Mar 8, 2010 · just wanted to post up my success on this matter. it was the first motor i put together so i had a couple mistakes that have been straightened out. i did use the golden eagle oil squirter delete, i should have had the crank balanced and didn't the gsr head was ported and i used usdm type r pistons. ls crank, ls rods. i also went with a skunk2 …

May 23, 2016 · Go head and build the bottom end while the B16 is running. Have the bottom end balanced and get an engine girdle like this one KMS Billet Engine Block Girdle B16, B18, B20 LS VTEC - eBay (item 350415562869 end time Nov-27-10 09:52:23 PST) .

Oct 4, 2008 · I'm putting a gsr head on my b20b here shortly, having the bottom end built for turbo, low comp. pistons, eagle rods, obviously new rings, thinkin about a new oil pan too lol. would Crower cams be good for the gsr head if i'm going turbo?

Jun 25, 2003 · basicly what he said. Your head is not really affected by big hp #'s it is the revs that kill it. Try spining a GSR head to 10k+ you not going to be lasting long. Remember, by doing head work, you improve the HP more. Bigger cams, PnP for flow, valves and springs to support the higher revs and duration of the cam lobes.

Oct 29, 2003 · If you have a GSR head go get a 1.8 block. type R, LS, GSR, whatever just retain the torque. Steevo: Don't mess with it. seriously. if so do a K20a3 if you're on a budget. other than that you may want to see if the cost is worth it. You could also turbo the existing motor.
