Re: ok got som bseries ecu and motor questions
dude b16 and b17 heads are almost identical (cast wise) the only difference is the valve train and cams
but to answer your question:
if you bolted a newer gsr head (square combustion chamber with quench areas) you would raise you compression slightly, but if you went with a b16 head you wouldnt be able to tell the diff. at all.

pmed about that. but yeah if you jsut put the b16 head on there and put the b17 cams in it you shoudl be fine, even if you want to use the b16 cams you should be alright. whats wrong with the b17 head?
