correct me if i am wrong but if i were to put the ls rods and crank in a b16 block it would make it a 1.8 right? with the rods(with arp rod bolts) and crank and itr pistons would this motor be better than a ls/vtec?
i havt to rebuild my motor soon and wanted to know wich has more potential(all motor) any input is appreciated. thanks

 

the problem wiht lS crank and rods in a b16 is that you have to run special pistons....but when done it is the same as a LS vtec, just less noticeable (sneakyness).

a CTR block though they fit right in since the deck height is taller.

 

interesting info ^^

 

or just find a b17 crank

 

or jsut put a b16 head on a ls block.........soooooooo much easier

 

ok so i will just put a vtec head on my block. i hav obd0 so would it be easier to just get a vtec controllerand obd0 vtec dist. rather than wire it to obd1?

 

convert it to obd1, and run crome . anyways whats up with my guage cluster?

 

i got the cluster $15 if you want to check it out ill be home for another 30min.
do you rember where i live?hit me up 478-6245

Would the difference in deck height matter at all?

 

yes, the fact that a "normal" B series piston would stick out the block way to much and would hit the head. Now a custom piston w/ a lower pin height or what ever will sit lower and BAM you got a LS/vtec in a B16 casing
