I have a problem last week I bought a b18c block which I thought was in good condition. I then went out and bought all the internals to make this block handle some good power forged rods, forged pistons you name it I bought it. Only to find out that the block that I bought was no good there were pits in the second cylinder now I am stuck trying to find a block. I have at my access a few B18A's. I was wondering how hard is it to do the ls vtec, will my gsr rods fit the ls crank or should I just use back my GSR crank and put my forged internals in the ls block. I am confused and I think I am going to loose it.

 

ls crank will be fine, i rev mine to 8500.
and no ur gsr rods will not fit the ls the stroke is not the same
use a gsr crank and u waste all the purpose of using the ls block

 

get a block girdle and you shall be fine putting you gsr crank in an ls will defeat the whole purpose of lsvtec and all you will get is a weaker wanna be gsr just use you gsr oil oan and buy a z-10 block girdle and get some hi comp pistons and better rods

 

This thread is not the place for your two bullshit little arguments and they have been deleted. Don't do it again.

 

...and no, don't use a GSR crank in the LS, you'll just lose the displacment that justified the block in the first place.
I don't see how there's really anyway that you're not going to end up having to spend some extra money. If a slight overbore will resolve the pitting (slight) the pistons will have to reflect this change, if you go the LS/Vtec route, new rods are in order.

 

im just not gunna post anymore PERIOD, cept in for sale/trade
i just get into to much trouble
but i still think ppl who dont even work on they own car should comment on any tech ??. what if they give someone bad info and they go do it to they ride.
not that they did, but it COULD happen.
just a thought, and ill try to play nice

 

Post away but keep the name calling out of it and you'll be fine. For instance, "I would not follow TegPenis's information due to it being blatantly wrong," would be a fine way of putting it.

 

im sorry, but if you had that much money you should have bored out the block hadit resleeved. your tourge and hor power would have increased.yes you would have a little bit more to pay right. if you do something do it right.

 

why not re-sleve teh original block to 84.5 an just be a bad ass !!! ?????

icemanhonda is exactly right !!! do shit right ! you get what you pay for !!!!
