I got a banging deal!

So I had a dude sell me a EM1 B16A2, GSR Cylinder Head with a Hondata P28 OBD1 for $600..

What else do i need to make this GSR/B16A2 running beautiful again?

b16 block with gsr is a bit backwards... in terms of power anyway. you'll probably check in a bit under the b16 stock rating of 160 with the gsr head.
usually, you do a gsr block with a b16 head for the poor-man's ITR set up.

assuming you're ussing that p28, and stock gsr manifold, you'll not be able to operate the IAB's on the gsr mani. get something like a skunk2 intake manifold and not worry about it. looks like it's not there anyway, so just get an aftermarket gsr unit without the iab's.

based on completeness, you'll need some belts and stuff. is ther an alternator? exhaust manifold. timing belt, probably more misc stuff.

I'd suggest assbembling it all before you go in the car, trans and all.

For sure i'm trying to sign out a toolbox from my Motorpool. So I can finish the disassemble.

$600 for all that is a steal honestly. The GSR head actually has smaller combustion chambers than the B16's and could give your B16 a slight bump in compression, yielding a tiny bit more power. You'll get more gains from a good tune though.

For sure! They are both vtech compatible toom

This is my build list for parts.

that intake manifold won't fit. you need to match your head.

I know i gotta use a Skunk2 GSR Manifold!
