LSvtec Turbo Build
FINALLY started the tear down on this damn thing haha. Basically got down to getting the cams out, was about to pull the head but quickly realized I'm not going to get this off with a 3/8 ratchet haha. Going to borrow an electric impact and see if I can get that to work. I'm using a GSR p72 head. Lots of pictures throughout - I've got a few questions throughout the posts I'd like answered, let me know! Thanks
Parts that I got so far:
GSR water pump
GSR oil pump
Gates GSR timing belt
GSR p72 head
LS trans
ACL race bearings
ARP head/main studs
Moroso oil pan
Blox intake manifold
Wiseco Pistons 81.5mm 10:2:1CR
Manley H beam rods
Here's some progress pictures.
Picked this up for 200$. Can't wait for more progress. I'll update this as regularly as possible with pictures of progress. This is my first rebuild/swap so wish me luck hahah.

Apparently my buddy has an electric impact rated at 600ft lbs lol, we'll see if that works! And Esoteric I'll PM you but I'm lookin to sell the head as a whole.

Re: Started my b18b1 tear down
Okay so the super expensive snap on electric impact didn't do the job, it was worth a shot though. I'm just going to have to lug the motor to my work and zap them out with an impact. I'm kinda bummed I haven't been able to progress any further cause of this hah..
On another note, cleaned my IACV and FITV out, fixed some buggy wiring issues, and gave the rig a wash. It was 60* out today in the Chicagoland area, in the beginning of January. Awesome day.
More updates "hopefully" soon to come.

Re: Started my b18b1 tear down
you could easily get them out by hand with a breaker bar, but your trying to do it on a table, when the engine is supposed to be on a stand, so your never gonna be able to put enough force on the bolt to break it loose without the engine moving. My ingersoll gun would spin the engine around like a top sitting on a table like that without it being secure to something to gain leverage.

Re: Started my b18b1 tear down
well, idk if you have decided, but i put the B16 head on my own LS/V turbo with GSR cams and that baitch runs like a raped ape. 475whp on 18.5 psi, you won't be dissatisfied with it if you do it correct like you said. And a sleeved block is a phenomenal idea.

Re: Started my b18b1 tear down
Okay! Sorry for the delay everybody, was lazy and didn't have some tools at home. All is well now, got this sucker down to a bare block + the crank.
Here are some pictures
Head is off finally!
Dirty girls
Cylinder walls all look really good, no signs of any damage on the walls or pistons
2 and 3 both look a little bit crusty
Oil pan off
:D
mmm oily
This part had me confused, EVERY one of my pistons say "3" on them? Oh well, those aren't going back in anyway
Crank didn't look too bad
Is it just me, or does this water pump look brand new?
Can someone guide me on how to remove this tube? I don't want to break it, and I feel like I'm going to haha..
Almost a bare block
So it's definitely getting there, next step will be removing the crank and odds and ends left to remove on the block and have it sent out for sleeving/boring. I think I've decided I want to go with 9.5:1 compression. CP pistons and Eagle H beam rods seem to be a good way to go, any suggestions on rod length?
Can't wait for that tax return haha
Let me know what you guys think, oh, and if you're still using 56k, I'm glad your modem exploded.

To tske that water pipe out just pull on it there's only a oring holding it in. If its really stuck spray some wd 40 or penetrating lube and let it sit than pull

Re: Started my b18b1 tear down
So if I wanted to go with 84mm bore, and wanted to stroke it to a 2.0 what length rods do you guys think would be best?
