ok i didnt know where to put this so feel free to move if needed... i just blew up my b16 and i want to build a bottom end consisting of a gsr block, ls crank, aftermarket pistons/rods.... all the threads i read talk about having to measure everything in the rotating assembly and thats the only thing i dont know how to do i would know how to assemble it just not measure everything... question is with a fresh hone and all new parts and crank being micro polished do i even need to measure or can i just pretty much through it all together... first time build any help is appreciated sorry if i didnt do enough research first....

ok i know how to plastigauge* cause i rebuilt my b16 but that was using all the stock parts so i just put everything back where it went... but is that the only thing i really need to check for...

Well of course you have piston gap that you have to gauge, but thats a given. Depending on the compression theres also claying a motor. Other then that theres not much else. On D series you need to do some grinding for aftermarket rods.

i have a 93 delsol so but it had already be swapt to a b16 and turbod befor and they blew the engen and just threw a d16z6 back into it for me a have two b18's one is a non vtech/vtech b18a block with b16 head full wiring harnes and i have an ecu from a b18b1. the other is a b18c with axles and wiring harnes and ecu and tran but tran jumps out of gear.
My question is which would be the better motor and how exacty do i do it?

from what i have heard it is a pretty simple process excpecialy scince the internal wiring was changed and the ecu in the car is a is set up for a turbo the ecu says 92-95 spoon ecuthe axles and trany in the car a good i have new Stage 3 clutch and new urathane mounts and new gredy headers. so how do i do it and which do i use for more all arund proformence

thanks well thats alot off my chest i thought i was going to have to pay some one and claying it shouldnt be an issue as it is going to be low compression turbo build... thanks for all the help... and more pointers on the ls/vtec build you think i might need feel free to add in....thanks,

still just a little curious... block will be cleaned and re-honed.. crank with be micropolished and balanced... and plastigauge the crank and rod bearings and then forged pistons/rods... do i need to do an extra steps building this engine or just plastigauge

TegProject

also i'd like to hear some opinions on what pistons to go with... rods will most liely just be eagle h beams.. havent decided on pistons yet though
