b16a2 head with b18c1 block

[Donkeykong]

hey! i've been reading alot about people using b18c1 block with b16 head as it's a straight fit on the b16, but i've a problem do i need someting else than just the bare b18 block ? i'm gonna use the b16 pistons with it and get custom tune to use the b18 thinking about getting Valves/Retainers/Springs and Cams also new headgasket while at this,

My car is a 1999 EK4 HB also sorry for bad English.

You will need the b18c1 block, crank, rods and sump, then use your b16a Pistons and head,

This set up should give you a healthy increase over a stock c1/c4 and means you can use a normal intake manifold from a b16 a or b18c'r etc

With the right bolt on's and tune (re map) you should probably see similar power to a stock b18cr I would guess,
