short block is block, crank, pistons and rods

longblock is from valve cover to oil pan with NOT manifolds.

often though you end up with other thigns still attached....

Man you never should have asked a question of that nature on this board. You are about to be flocked by people laughing at you. I would try and edit it.

Theres no difference between a short and long block. In the end its the same motor (depending on whcih you choose)

Example: Your looking at a GSR long block and a GSR short block. In the end the bottom end is the same. Only difference is that the short block doesnt come with a head while the long block does.

For boost and nitrious together your going to want to do a full build. No stock motor will last long with those 2 together. Look into building with sleeves, pistons, rods and a very nice head work, and make it something that could handle 900whp easy or else that nitrious could very much shoot a rod through the block with boost attached to its hip.

Good information. You never steer anyone wrong. Now I need you to take a look at my 40 psi oil pressure post.

if you plan on boosting i suggest building the b16 for boost versus strokin' it

remember when your talking about B18 there are two different "kinda", GSR (B18C1) or Type-R, Type-R (B18C5) has a higher compression then a GSR therefore, not suitable for boost, but obviously there has been a few members out there who have boosted Type-R's (i'm soon going to be doing the same). So if you want a B18, I'm guessing your talking about the GSR...usually what ppl boost when it comes to B18's.

Just remember, anything is possible, there are still ppl out there that say to never boost a Type-R but if you have the money and know what your doing, then who's to stop you.
