Hey guys, i know i fell off there for a minute, i live in the sticks now and it took a while to get internet up and running. Well, couple updates, the civic is sold[]i know...i know, the integra well.....it stalled on me on tuesday on the way to work, i came back to pick it up after work, some cocksmoker jacked it up and cut out a 4 foot section of the exhaust to get my cat[:@][:@], luckily state farm is picking up the bill and everthing is being replaced by megan (header, test pipe-dont have emissions here, and drift spec catback)
So, i know i said i was not going the LSVTEC route, but i have decided to do it. First thing in need to get rid of the twig rods in there now. I know GSR pistons will fit, but will the rods mate with the crank ok?? And can someone give me a number on compression, all the calculators out there dont factor in the rods, and i know the b18c rod adds and extra mm to the mix and i want to be around 10.5-10.7 compression, thanks guys, look forward to getting back in the mix.

damn dude that is messed up! Glad to hear insurance is helping out though.


I can't answer your questions cause I dont know crap about b-series, but I'm sure someone will pipe up soon.

Good to have you back

 

 

that does blow...here in philly they just cut out your inspection sticker lol, but this is worse, nice to see ya back tho!

 

thanks.... but anyone know about the rods

 

Im a little confused... Im going to assume you have a gsr? I think your question was will your gsr rods fit an LS crank? From what Ive read they will not. There may be a way to make them fit but Im not sure its worth the effort. Im glad to see ya back. I loved your old car. What are your plans for your new car?n/a ls/vtec or boosted ls/vtec? Im defintitely voting for boost! Keep us posted.

 

I have a RS actually. I have found out that no, gsr rods will not go on my crank, so aftermarket I, or H rods here i come. Im going to mate those to pr3 pistons, should be looking at around 11.4 compression

 

So your leaving the dark side for n/a? Well, good luck with the build and I hope everything goes well.

 

yeah, im gonna take a stab at it, see what its all about. just need to decide what head to put on it, anyone have and suggestions, pros and cons? I know the gsr resists detonation a little better and the smaller cc ups the compression, but on the other hand the b16 flows better. I just dont know what to get

 

I would just go with the b16. They can be had for a good bit cheaper and like you saidthey flow like a champ. You could send it to riceburner and have him port it up a little for ya. He does some pretty clean work.
