i want to know if i drop in b18b cams into a b18a1 engine would it make any different? and also i got my hands on a set of gsr pistons.. would that work in the LS engine too what would i need to get this to run nicely...? thnx guyz plz help a brother out

I don't think they would make much of a difference at all......if they did it would make a "thread-like" difference...........

mr.beeks

grs pistons = higher compression
b18b cams = more fuel more exhaust but the head, intake manifold lacks the flow
so not the full potential unless you port and polish with stage 2 cams.

i got the 94 LS intake manifold would that helps? and AEM cold air.. about the head yes i could get that port and polish.. but would a gsr pistons works in LS block tho if do with what rod..

mr.beeks

they will fit on stock LS rods with minor mods (of course machine shop will do that)
and it will bump your compression..
and see that baby go..
since you are getting a lot of parts see if you could get a gsr or b20 oil pump and
water pump..

kinda of building an LS/vtec.

88civicHB703

but i think modded LS should do for basic N/A setup.. just to pack a punch... cant risk LS/vtec yet... and i heard LS could pack alot of torque is htis true?

mr.beeks

naturally aspirated b18a
will do on the mid and high end lossing power on the low end
but my point was just to upgrade water and oil pump.

just try to match it up to a gsr or b16 tranny.

88civicHB703

my point exactly im still searchin for gsr tranny.. after that i'll be set.. so u sayin piston upgrade cam.. and water and oil pump? and all them good bolt on parts

mr.beeks

yeap thats right
I forgot to mention to shot peen your rods
or get upgraded rods.

88civicHB703

too?

mr.beeks

its like trying to eliminate any weak link so it will last..

eagle LS rods woud do or do i have to get it custom.. i dont know what shortpender rod mean

mr.beeks

shot peened = a bunch of pins hitting a surface with tremendous pressure
therefore streghtening the surface.

but aftermarket ls rods are fine...

88civicHB703

i just found a complete b20z head would that help performance any?

mr.beeks

to tell you the truth I have not messed around any b20z
so I dont know if it lines up or any other mods need to be done...

88civicHB703

hmm yea i heard they do bolt up... but i wonder if it give any extra power and torque with much mod...

mr.beeks

just put it this way
it has to feed a bigger bore.
therefore a better flow is needed.
so my best educated guess it will save you the port and polish of the b18a

88civicHB703

yea p&p is expensive... around my area..$300-$400

mr.beeks

is this port and polish flow tested before you
receive it?
if it is, its not a bad price...

i know a local shop owner is a personal friend of my cousin we got our **** done over there alot...
