I have an ls motor which over torques the crap outta my crx (bought car this way) I believe i've found the crank and rods I need make a b16b replica from eagle. Just have 2 questions about it

1-where are the piston squirter passages located? Need to know which b18c parts I need to make this last

2-will b18c rods mount to a b16a crank?

Was thinking about ls vtec, but am not going to try that till someone gets one that lasts...

 

call eagle and ask them about their crank??

 

They don't do blocks or pistons, since I'm currently on a b block, still need to know about what I need for those squirters. Figured I'd ask about the rod-crank interchange while I'm here trying to figure out what I may need so that I can do it right the first time

 

There are thousands of people building ls-vtecs that last forever. Stop being a newb and try to fit in. It's all in the tune. Have a good day.

 

Please explain this, unless it's wheel spin. In most cases wheel spin is caused from people thinking clutch-dumping with a sintered-iron race clutch in a semi-stock NA motor is the way to drive fast. A clutch that can be slipped a bit, as well as altering throttle angle, will vastly help wheelspin.

As for your other questions... It would be cheaper to sell your LS motor and start with a B18C1 block. It has squirters, which will allow cast pistons. The other option is using the LS block with forged press-fit pistons (yes, they exist). LS+machining+squirters will cost more than either of those 2 options, and will have a stronger block or lighter pistons, respectively.


BTW Honda didn't make a "destroked ITR" motor because it was different or because they wanted to reduce low-end torque. They did it for 2 primary reasons: Japan has a vehicle TAX based on engine displacement, and the ITR already has a 1.8L engine. The CTR was the poor-asian's ITR in many respects, and they certainly didn't want to out-class the ITR with a Civic. Otherwise you'd likely have seen stock Honda City Type-R's imported that will beat a modded NSX Type-R.

 

just throw some bigger cams than what you need and an ederbrock im you will lose low end and gain top end it will be like driving a more powerful b16..or learn to drive...or get better tires....there no such thing as a too much torque lsvtec....even on a crx..there people here with built b20vtecs and they dont complain...
