well the CTR and the ITR head have different cams. Thats why I specified. Yes other than that they are the same. As far as using a B16a with a CTR cam (which is a more aggressive cam and makes more power than the ITR cam), yes I would agree to use the rest of the CTR valvetrain. Like springs and retainers. I figured that was a given. The only reason I would say use the B16a head, with a CTR cam is price. The ITR or CTR complete head with cams and everything is way overpriced! Not worth it when it comes for bang for the buck. For the same price u can get the B16a head, CTR cam, and a serious port job which can make as much power as the CTR or ITR head or so I have heard. Like a DPR stage 5 or 6 port job, and on top of that the head is totally rebuilt with new valve seats, springs, seals, decked... Basically a brand new head. If u buy a used ITR/CTR head then u dont know what u are getting into do u? Atleast the rebuilt and ported B16a would have a bit of piece of mind. Atleast to me.
