00CivicSI-R 00CivicSI-R Jr Member Registered: 03/18/06 Posts: 717 Loc: westchester county, NY	I was wondering... with a stock b16a2 head, stock gsr bottom end, what would be the net compression? _________________________ Juno aim: iamyatypema

00CivicSI-R 00CivicSI-R Jr Member Registered: 03/18/06 Posts: 717 Loc: westchester county, NY	so with lower compression..the hp and tq would suffer too right? _________________________ Juno aim: iamyatypema

surubasi00 surubasi00 Post Master Sr Registered: 01/07/03 Posts: 3792 Loc: VA	not really...it's not that big of a difference, the b16 head and manifold MIGHT make up for the compression with flow Dave _________________________ Turns out my dog is allergic to peanuts. - FortCollins

00CivicSI-R 00CivicSI-R Jr Member Registered: 03/18/06 Posts: 717 Loc: westchester county, NY	but in other words, it would be pointless to do a setup like this? _________________________ Juno aim: iamyatypema

surubasi00 surubasi00 Post Master Sr Registered: 01/07/03 Posts: 3792 Loc: VA	pretty much... BUT you have to outline what it's going in and what it came out of. if the bottom end came out of a GSR and you're gonna put your SI head on it...go for it...if not you'll need to use the p72 ecu for the intake manifold butterflies Benefits of the b16 are, better intake manifold capabilities, IMHO better initial flow (the GSR has better intake angle, but that's another story) tell us what it's going into and where the head is coming from Dave _________________________ Turns out my dog is allergic to peanuts. - FortCollins

00CivicSI-R 00CivicSI-R Jr Member Registered: 03/18/06 Posts: 717 Loc: westchester county, NY	well i was thinking about buying this ek hatch for learning to autoX. But i want some tq. so i thought i could throw an Si stock head on a stock gsr bottom end, and be happy. _________________________ Juno aim: iamyatypema

A thinner headgasket will gain you the minor loss in compression back. You're thinkin of buying your neighbors hatch? Can it be registered or would you just use it as a track car? _________________________

00CivicSI-R 00CivicSI-R Jr Member Registered: 03/18/06 Posts: 717 Loc: westchester county, NY	yea it can be registered...it just needs a new battery and new right window. I think i told you Bobby. I dont know yet if ima buy it, just weighing my options. _________________________ Juno aim: iamyatypema

PurduinaSi PurduinaSi Post Master Sr Registered: 04/16/04 Posts: 7857 Loc: Westchester, NY	B18c1 and B18c5 are practically the same bare blocks. Putting the CTR pistons in a GSR block would make it much like my setup, and would net you extremely high compression, upwards of 12.1:1 (depending on other factors). _________________________
