Rebuilt time !!!! RIP stock LS
Car just came from sitting for 2 years and went with a 6262 with topmount turbo setup made like 360 to the wheels lasted a 2 months and was driving it the other day drop oil pressure like crazy ... and as soon as i saw it hit 20 psi of oil pressure I turned it off i haven't completely looked in to it so I'm not sure what went wrong Im probaly gonna rebuild anyways i wonder should i go with stock sleeves and just do pistons and rods OR should I just do pistons/rod/ and GE sleeves ..??? what oil pump can i upgrade too on my b18 LS block ...i heard Type R but wasnt too sure .... what else should I replace since Im in there

If u have the money, sleeve it and do a fully built LS/VTEC, ie. pistons pistons, rods, vtec head, dual valve springs, retainers, itr or ctr or aftermarket cams and so on. You can use use a type r, gsr, or b16 oil pump, they're all the same. Your limit is how much you wanna put into it.

i dont think you would have any oil pressure if throwing a rod and more than likely your car would have stalled. its could be a couple of things, bearings, oil line, head gasket or something else. I am only familiar to the bearings going.

Sounds like you spun a rod bearing most likely. On a LS motor you almost need ARP rod bolts at that power level or you risk stretching the rod bolts. Yes if you have the money have the block sleeved but forged pistons and H beam rods will handle 400whp ish on stock sleeves.
