Is it worth buying a b16, i can get it for $100 with all parts, but have to build it myself. Should I buy it and build it up, or just try to find a b18?

can you REALLY go wrong for 100$? You could buy it, build it and if you don't want it, resale it.

you're not planning to put this in your 7thgen are you? with the cost of custom fabrication you might as well put in a k

b16 is actually illegal to put into a street 7th gen. cannot put an engine into a car that is younger than the engine.

b16 heads are said to flow better. also in combination with a b16 tranny, you get closer gear ratios. most ef-eg-ek enthusiast know about this setup and is commonly used.

A b16 head doesn't flow any better then a gsr b18 head. The gsr actually flows better slightly. I b16 is basically a slightly destroke b18c1.

He would actually lose static compression if he put a b16 head on a b18c1 block.

If he's staying NA, then the only thing he would gain would be using if the SI tranny.

if he's going boost then a b18c1 would be a better plateform to start with since the tranny is already gear well for turbo and the stock head can hold a lot of power already.

stock b16 head vs stock b18c1 head

honestly if the B16 is not going into anything but a hatch, dont buy it, my buddy has a 00 Si with a B16 blcok, Type R Tranny, Type R head, T 3/04E Turbo setup at 10 lbs, worked bottem end, and only ran a 13.8...which is kinda sad as SRT-4 run 13.9 stock
