For all you people you people wanting to run LS cranks in your gsr...I have 2 sets of internals...complete with rods and pistons...for $325 shipped a piece.

 

n00b question... why would you want to run an LS crank?... (curious)...

 

For the extra stoke....thus, more displacement.

 

how much more would it come out to be?

 

The gsr is 1792cc, the LS is 1834...you would have the displacement of an LS motor...your R/S ratio would be slighly lower as well.

any bad side-effects to switching to an LS crank?...

 

There are absolutely no bad side effects. LS/vtec's and crvetc's always yield a greater torque curve than a gsr. You can get the good effects from ls crank, and get the good strength from a gsr block (girdle, oil squirters, etc).

 

what about sleeving to 2.0 liters with a gsr block... would it still gonna be worth it to swap cranks too?... (considering my options)... thanks...

 

With an LS crank you'll still have more displacement when you bore to 2.0L than you would with a GS-R crank. Granted it's not much, but sometimes every little bit counts.
