dr_broon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Depends which b16 had it is. I can't remember which one you need, but with the right one it gets called a poor man's type r. S80 should be fine with any b series as far as I know (unless there's an issue with cable or hydraulic clutch on your setup) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 B16a or a2 head will be the one. If it's been done properly then you should be fine. By properly I mean the pistons should have been changed as the compression ratio when you just swap the head over will be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Probably be better building one myself just to be sure but if I'm building an engine it's not gonna be that setup was just thinking about time Vs cash with that but when in doubt do it yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yeah exactly! It's like when you buy a car somebody else has modified. You never know what you're getting into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
