My head hurts after reading the first page

There is nothing wrong with the C4 head. In fact, if anything the C4 head is the superior B-series head. Flow wise there is nothing between them. The C4 head also has "quench" pads unlike the B16 head which is a bonus.

AFIK the C4 head also has double valve springs on inlet and exaust unlike the B16A head only has them on one side??

Goes well with a minor skim and CTR,ITR cams.....

Chatted with Tom at portflow and the guys at endyn about this on more than one occasion, what you gain from one you lose with the other. Theres no doubt the b16 heads flow more but has said above the gsr heads have quench pads, yada yada yada. Who gives a **** in the real world, most of us would never know the diffrence between either or know how it would effect how the engine makes power etc.

Im not the Most experienced in flow ability's and characteristic of ports and heads but had a go a while back comparing the 2.

Wouldn't really concider the P72 Head as bad, it just has different characteristics.

How about ECU ?
P2T from EK4?

 

[civic-tec]

C4 head are same as GSR C1 head,was that right?

 

[sarkel]

Correct^^^^ but the map on the ecu is more aggresive to the c4 engine

I thought if you had a b18 put the b16 head on it for better flows.
But not b16 with a b18 head on it
