i was thinking about like 7-9 lbs daily then for the track i wanna jump it up to like 15-17 maybe 20 if the motor permits? what do you guys think ls or forged i was thinking je? anyone got any better suggestions?

 

all depends on what your setup is and how much timing you have in the tune...there is too many variables, if you have the money get pistons and rods...should be like 750 for both and then you can boost away....

 

what about sleeves? its a gsr in an ef obd0...

 

stock sleeves will be fine...ICS is making over 500whp on stock sleeves....sleeving a block is for serious power and basically insurance..safety kinda thing...do you have a engine management for your obd0 car? I have the obd0 hondata that im running in my car right now that i will be getting rid of..vtec ecu and hondata box and all....lmk if your interested...

 

We havnt installed LS pistons in a VTEC motor, but I was under the assumption that the valve relief on the LS pistons isnt enough to clear the valves.. I will look into this more, but im almost positive there will be clearence issues with the valves... Thus the reason you dont use the LS pistons in a LS/VTEC unless you clay the motor to be 100% sure.(I could be wrong, but I dont think sooo...)

 

BTW in stock form swaping the LS pistons in a GSR will net you right around 9:5:1... compression, bit again valve clearence is the problem..

 

call me back mang...

 

so they wont work due to valve clearance?

 

Im pretty sure in stock form that they wont work, but hell im sure if you installed a thick headgasket nad used very mild cams you might get away with running them Whatever you do clay your motor when building it to make sure the setup you run still has ample clearence....

I found 1 other post about not using the pistons due to clearence, but will look into crunching some numbers 4 U as hearsay is worthless these days

 

thanks alot for all the info lmk homie!!!
