thanks man i have been tempted to build the gsr but... i just hate the low torque numbers it puts down! how long do you think the gsr built would last?

B18A/B & B18C1 are very different from each other. GSR came with a bunch of nice goodies such as better rod ratio, 9mm rod bolts stock, use of engine girdle, cylinder oil jets, better blance crank, & a supposed better oil pump but Ive never checked into seeing this to be true. Now if you got deep pockets, you can easily exceed GSR limits. but mod for mods a slight avantage goes to the B18C bottoms.

Other heads (B16, ITR, B17) have interchangeable parts and have much more aftermarket support.
I'd go with a B16 head just to save the heartache.
