Quick question about the B18b1 and B18c1

[Joyride53]

Im new to this so bare with me! I had a B18B1 bottom end with a vtec b16 head in my 99 civic.. I took the b18b1 out and just put in a b18c1 bottom end. what would I have to do to my b16 head to make it work on the new block?

Nothing. Should fit right on. But why is what I wanna know..

 

[CHILD]

its like a normal gsr now but with a better flowing head and lower profile camshafts.

 

[Blood_Shot]

but lower compression than a normal gsr

but more than the LS

Almost a poor mans type r

i would have kept the ls/vtec...

gsr bottom has oil squirters and stronger rods. gsr bottom > ls bottom. this coming from a guy that rocked ls/vtec

were you running vtec on the ls block? if so, only thing to do now is plug up your ls/vtec kit oil line

 

[Joyride53]

My ls block locked up so I rebuilt the head and got the better block..
Ok Thanx Billy yeah all I was wondering is if I had to take the reroute kit off..

 

[Billy.]

yea it's gotta be plugged, else you'll be squirting oil everywhere

GSR Bottom End and B16 head = a poor man's type-r if I recall correctly. Pretty decent combo. LSVtec is not nearly as reliable as people think (LS bottom ends are notoriously weak-walled. Need to sleeve them if you want to make high power). I had an Turbo LS Teg, and had to step the boost down from 10psi to 6psi, and the new owner STILL blew it up.

i had an ls/vtec on 8psi for 4 years, 330hp, 65k miles, sold it and still running strong.

LS bottoms hold up great with boost. How are they weak???

Yeah I thought as long as you didn't rev em too high it was fine with boost..

b series sleeves are alot stronger than everyone use to think, its shitty tunes that crack them are cause issues

a gsr bottom end is pretty stout, somes guys are making 500whp on them and they do run longer than just a few pulls on the dyno. The LS isnt too shabby either, its just how well its tuned and what shape its in to begin with
