11.5 Sleeved to 84mm, Eagle rods, micropolshed crank, and throwing a soon to be completed JUN III ITR head.

 

hehe, that's purdy ^_^

 

Beauty. No girdle? Are those stock rods?

 

eagle rods...
i decided to goto 84 because (i believe 85 is max) just incase one of my cyclinders blows (knock on wood) i can bore it out .5, or even more. but i figured if i get a blown cylinder it might do more that just .5-1mm damage, but u never know..
and also do they make a girdle for LS.. maybe it was something else, but i thought they made it only for VTEC engines.. hmm, someone please tell us

thanx

 

you can make a GS-R block girdle fit onto the LS bottom end like i did. OR you can purchase one from Z10 but it's pretty expensive......for the cost of the Z10 girlde you can buy a used GS-R one and have it fitted onto the block......

here's my GS-R girdle on the non-VTEC bottom end:

 

nice. looks just like mine

 

Sooooooooooo clean

 

good shiet. slap a turbo kit on that baby!

 

hehe.. yup he has the original head from this block.

so the GSR will fit the LS.. would there be and modding.. or will it just slip on, im sure u have ran the motor with it on.. does everything clear and run fine


thanx.. oh and yeah i just heard about he z10.. how much do they go for these days..??
<--who doesnt wanna search for the price of the z10 girdle.

 

the last time i checked the Z10 girdle was about 300-400 bucks i think? (correct me if i'm wrong?) and that doesnt include the 6 GS-R main bolts, the GS-R oil pickup, GS-R windage tray and GS-R oil pan that you need to make it all work.

the GS-R crank girdle can be found used for much less than that. you can buy just the girdle from the acura dealer for just over 100 bucks......

only advantage to the Z10 girdle is that it's much stronger

 

Sell me the block all i need is the sleeved block you can keep the pistons and rods. I’m trying to fiend a LS block to send off to GE ASAP. Blocks looks nice and yes get the GSR block girdle much cheaper than the Z10.

 

my Z10 block girdle costed 235$(that is the shot peened version), 215$ is regular price. you only need GSR/ITR windage tray and oil pump pick up and 3 middle GSR main bolts to make it fit. All B series oil pans are the same.

I used custom ARP bottem end studs on my shortblock...

 

boost baby boost....

 

Got a GSR girdle w/ oil pan for $200 + shipping... just in case...

The GSR girdle needs slight machining to fit the LS, but not much.

 

is it just the pan and girdle.. how bout the pump and the aluminum thing..

 

Thanks for all the free wallpaper, your set-ups look out of control and baonest the new sleeves so clean and nice, Im doing that samething to a B20 Have you ever considered getting your crank knife edged? It was worth every penny I paid for mine

 

Yes im very interested too. From what I hear it puts less strees on the crank on high rpms. Seeing how a block of metal doesnt have to smack the oil, just the "knife edge" does. Is this true? If soo..How exactly did you notice the difference?

 

Knife edging the crank reduces the rotational mass and requires less energy to rotate, this translated into instantly acheiving redline on my launch. Not now but originally I had been running a cam setup that only started making power from 4500 to 9500, the sooner I got to this range the sooner I started making power. Have less weight not puts less stress on the crank, but also the block (especially with no girdle) and bearings."The thinner counterweights also cut parasitic power losses normally encountered when rotating through splashing oil in the oil pan. " Not something absolutely necessary but still nice to have regardless

The only thing in life I know for sure....... is the older I get, the less I know

 

I asked the guy who did mine, but after owning his machine shop for 30 years he can only speak in binary, so I don't even know.

Knife edging=

Not knowing about your own crank=

 

knife edging? doesnt that weaken your crank? and does it improve it that much?

 

i regret not haveing my crank semi-kife-edged........
