ok this might be the dummest post ever but wtf?ok would would happen if you took a b16 block and pluged the block from vtec and put on a b18 head. what would i have???? will this be worth it or no? has someone done this befor? let me know what you guys think cause i think i might have a nice engine or pos. i know the block is high rev to 9k safe. my head is worked to the point it can handel just bout enything.. so ya let me know....

Only thing that comes to my mind is that you might get shittier compression with the head being larger than the block.

moving this to B series since it has to do with B series engines

oopsssss. thanks teal. but if you can put a b16 head on a b18 block why would putting a b18 head on a b16 block not be ok. b16 is good for high rev and are known for being very strong. i have a head that is built by jg. port n polish, all titanium internals, duel valve springs, brian crower stage 2 cams,aem cam gears, and over sized valves. so it will rev to 8500 saftly and mabey to 9000. and the b 16 block will go to 9000 like cake. and what bout raising compresion with a head gasket????

sorry to steal the thread but this kinda pertains to the statement above. the b16 head bolted onto a b18 block, the new head will flow better, correct?

yes of course. why???

Bumping this. Would this not be a good set up? Still learning Honda Motors. This is a engine from https://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=99 all the way at the bottom

King Motorsports Super B16 Crate Motor
The B16 was the motor that jump started the Honda performance scene. Recently the larger B18, H22, and K-Series have been getting a lot of attention, however the B16 is still a great little powerplant when it is set-up correctly. We've developed a potent package that is a real high RPM screamer perfect for street, strip, or track use. Do you like the sound of 9500rpm and 210whp? This little guy provides a very broad torque curve and amazing top end power.

We highly recommend the use of a Hondata system with this engine. If you need one we will work out a package deal - tuning is key to making this combination work correctly.
