poor man's type r

[tphan4]

anyone running a poor man type r on here? For those that dont know its a gsr block with a b16 head...1.8l block and the flow of the si head. How efficient is the setup? any power increases torque or hp?

 

[formby]

that will be my next build with b16 pistons

Yes, I'm running a GSR block with a B16 head. You're not going to get any increases in power- you'll just lose some compression, lose your secondary butterflies, and not really change any of the flow characteristics much

Mine:

Yours won't look anywhere near that if you just throw a B16 head on a GSR block.

so theres no advantage as to putting that setup together?

 

[SlushboxTeggy]

nope, unless you happen to have the parts lying around. not worth the $.

Do the tech43 stroker kit.. Im currently tryin to get the parts.... B16 block, Ls Rods, Ls crank, custom pistons.... What do you get? 1.9L LS/vtec w/o the head work and a CR of 11.5:1

ls rods+ls crank wont fit in b16 block, unless its a b16b block which means you essentially still have a b18b ls/vtec

Not without other parts to support it, no.

Hmm. I did some searching on it- pretty cool stuff! I would still just go with a B18 block though.

Really high pin pistons is what it takes! I'd still rather have a solid oil control ring land, but that looks like it'll work.

 

[K2e2vin]

damn thats high as hell. i guess using that piston in a b16b will give it the rod ratio of a motorcycle(btw, isnt it already like 1.8-ish rr?)

 

[phunky.buddha]

Yeah, it's over 1.8.
