Default GSR crank in my b16a. Benifits?

So I have an extra GSR crank out of a blown engine. Should I throw it into my turbo b16a buildup?

You will need custom rods to keep the pistons from smacking into the head.

You can, but it's cheaper/easier to just run custom pistons. If I were doing it I would probably just do custom pistons.

LS crank is an 89mm stroke, GSR crank is an 87.2mm stroke. Similar, but not exactly the same. B16 is 77.4mm for reference.

So an LS crank in GSR block would produce more power?? B/c i have an LS crank layin around...and i am building a B18c1 bottom end.

It does, but the difference really is negligible. 0.071" difference in stroke between them, that's very insignificant. 37.10 CC's difference in displacement. To give you an idea, boring your GSR motor .5mm over is about a 22.2 CC inrease in CC's, but you don't hear anybody raving about the huge torque, or quicker spool that change gave them.
