gsr headswap on ls motor

I was just wondering where I can buy a GSR head, how much they would cost around and how difficult would it be to install on my LS motor?

thanks in advance

i dunno how much it would run ya... but ive heard taht the b16a2 heads will run for about $600 or so, and yes it does work with the ls block

personally i think the b16 head is much better than the gsr head and the b16 head does work with the ls block, u just need all the computers and whatnot

if you are going to do the lsvtec swap go with the b16. check around for pricing. and if you do not know the b series engine inside and out let a shop with a good reputation do the work because ive seen many lsvtec swaps not last long because of poor work.

I was thinking about the same thing. I was told that it is a lot of work. I decided to buy a B18C instead.

I don't know any sites off the top of my head you just need to search around. Goto clubsi.com they have a really good hybrid forum. The b16a2 (think thats the code to the 99-00 SI) head flows better than either the GSR or the type R head. I would go for that if I were you. What you really need to think about is quality. Building a motor is not something you should go cheep on spend money where money is needed and for this project money is needed almost everywhere.

i heard a type-r head or gsr head could fit on a b20 block, i'm not sure if that correct though. i dunno what computer to use though. type-r/gsr, or the b20 non vtec ecu? if it did, that would kick ***! are there b20s in crx's? i have a 91 crx si now and i am wondering if that biga$$ motor would fit.

juss make it easier and get either b18c5 (type r integ) or the jdm b16 cuz the jdm b16 has the biggest vtec, either way you are looking towards 3000+ for the actual motor, the vtec solenoid, and the install... at least... but it'll all be worth it.. juss go to a very respected race shop, you'll be sponsored so maybe it'll be alot cheaper then buyin it all yerself.

ive got lots of buddies with LS vtec swaps...they all have the B16 head on there, many with turbos on top of that. Those hatches are fast! talkin easy 12s.
I know that wasnt any help, just thought i would share.
