B16 w/ GSR cams...and crank?

Teaks92HB · Post by **Teaks92HB** » September 15, 2006

hello, i'm getting my hands on a b16 and i have a blown gsr so i figured i'd put the cams in. im doing a full rebuild of the motor anyway. so another question is should i also use the crank? would this fit in the bottom end of the B16? from what i heard people usually put a b16 head on a gsr bottom and make a poor mans type r. but the gsr block i have is ruined except for the crank. so if anybody has any idea please lemme know. or should i just do an lsvtec? see i have a full ls swap and i wanted to build that for boost. but i dunno what to do!! help me. i suck at decisions. i really want two seperate motors....

thanks guys!!!

The crank will not work, the cams will.

Also, it's pointless IMO to boost an LSVTEC. Just boost a straight LS or a GSR.

What's all wrong with the gsr bottom end? Want to sell it?

you dont want it. the pistons are rusted to the walls. it would need re-sleeved plus it was over heated badly and it prob needs decked. i'm actually bolting a bad ls head on it and putting an empty gsr tranny case on it and putting it in place of the b16 motor. the car is goit to a junk yard it was wrecked. so no sense in wasting a b16 right?

i got a b16 with a good cank in it. I was boosted and popped ringland on number three but other than that its a good block and bottom end. If you want it email me at [email protected]

Use the GSR crank and GSR sized rods in the LS bottom end. Then run your external VTEC oil line a la Endyn who does it on standard VTEC blocks.

That'll give you the 1.8L displacement of an LSVTEC but it will allow higher revs like a GSR to take advantage of the VTEC powerband.
