thanks man i have been tempted to build the gsr but... i just hate the low torque numbers it puts down! how long do you think the gsr built would last?

B18A/B & B18C1 are very different from each other. GSR came with a bunch of nice goodies such as better rod ratio, 9mm rod bolts stock, use of engine girdle, cylinder oil jets, better blance crank, & a supposed better oil pump but Ive never checked into seeing this to be true. Now if you got deep pockets, you can easily exceed GSR limits. but mod for mods a slight avantage goes to the B18C bottoms.

Yes. The B18 GSR head will give you slightly higher compression even after porting. But the main thing you need to look at is part compatibility. With a GSR head you HAVE to use a GSR intake manifold and you'll have to have a GSR ECU to use the GSR throttle body. This only applies to the B18C GSR. B17 GSR heads are more like all the other VTEC heads.

Other heads (B16, ITR, B17) have interchangeable parts and have much more aftermarket support.

I'd go with a B16 head just to save the heartache.
