b16 head and GSR head
is there any true difference between the two heads? I have heared that the B16 head flows better, but then again i have heard that there is really no eifference at all...

Re: b16 head and GSR head
apparantly the b16 head does flow better, the MAJOR difference to me is that you can use a Type r intake manifold on the b16, you cant use it on the gsr, the Type r intake manifold is the best flowing honda manifold of all so the fact that you can use it on a b16 head is a big advantage, if you want a better flowing manifold for the gsr, you have to go aftermarket.....

Re: b16 head and GSR head
well i have an aftermarket on my b16 now, but im building a b20vtec turbo and not sure if i want to go with b16 head or gsr head, i have been told that the difference in the two would be so small that i would never notice

i heard that the combustion chambers are shaped differently as far as size and the quench area, so the compression will differ as well as the flow to the valves.

Re: b16 head and GSR head
really depends on what cams and intake manifold your using.

Re: b16 head and GSR head
gsr yields slightly higher compression stock, b16 head flows a little better. i'd say the b16 head is the better head overall although if you start getting into headwork and aftermarket parts it really doesnt matter which you use.
