B16A interchangeable with B18b1

[HRubss]

Okay guys, so i just picked up my JDM B16A for LsVtec and my question is if the skunk2 intake manifold i have for my B18b1 will fit the B16A head? I tried the OEM B18b1 intake manifold on the B16A and it lined up to a point where the intake ports where all covered and just 3 studs weren't aligned and the coolant port didnt line up either but i remember that the coolant port on the skunk2 B18b1 manifold was different than the one on the OEM one. I assume it would fit because the B16 bolt pattern is the same as the b18c5 head and b18c5 is the same as the b18b1. i might be wrong but just let me know what you guys think.

B18b1 and b18c5 have different intake manifold bolt patterns. They are not interchangeable. But you can cut one up to make it fit on a b1.

But will the skunk2 manifold fit the b16a?

Not without modification.

Any ideas on how to it?

Google it. You gotta cut and drill new holes but people have put a b16 manifold on a b1

Probably easier to get an I/M for the B16 and then sell the I/M you have for the B18B1 head with it.
