If I was to throw in a gsr crank in my b16 block is there anything I would need to worry about? I have a feeling valve clearence may be an issue? Anything else I should know?

You cannot use a b18c (Gsr) crank in a b16a motor because the b16a block is physically shorter than the b18c block. You can use a Gsr crank in a b16B block as it's the same as a b18c block. However you'd just end up with a b18c GSR block anyway. A B16b is just a de-stroked b18c. A b16a is an entirely different motor and block all together. The only crank you could swap into the b16a block is a 92-93 B17 GSR crank (1.7L) which would give you a little more stroke, you'd have to use the b17 rods as well.

If I was to use the b17 crank and rods would the b16 pistons fit onto the b17 rods?

As far as I know....yes, but you're talking such a little increase in stroke, you could probably just do headwork and get the gains your looking for, with less headache.

Ohh ok....yeah I get what your saying yea it would be betta to juss do head work......wheneva I have any type of engine question I always turn to u lol u got ALL the info lol thanks man much appriciated

No problem, thats what I'm here for.

Build the head!! Its a great starting platform for any future mods. I did things backwards, now I'm not making as much power as I could be.

Yeah that is what I plan to do....skunk2 stage 1 cams/skunk2 manifold imma start off with that and go from there

I dont think B16 valvetrain will hold up very well with those cams, invest in the Skunk2 springs and retainers as well.

The other thing thats important is a quality header. Save your pennies because that is another part that is important to an all motor build.

"You get back what you put in"......remember that!!

What's your opinion on the ITR header?

Its not a bad header, but remember....its a stock header.

DTR/SSR, SMSP, or Hytech.

At the very least, get a Hytech replica, I've seen them make good power. They're advertised on Honda-tech all the time.

What's the price for the replicas?
