Curious if anyone knows FOR SURE which ARP Head Studs i should order for my ls/vtec? Its a b18a1 block with a b17 head. Any info greatly appreciated. TIA

 

Get GSR head studs. They're longer than B16 head studs.

 

what he said

 

GSR, mmm hmmm.

Hey Newman, when are you gonna get some of those airboxes again? (Mugen Replica's)

Check out the AEBS Studs too, they are both good studs.

 

sweet....appreciate it guys. I heard good things about AEBS studs too but i have to go with ARP just simply because of their history and track record.

 

yep definitely GSR head studs

 

The Gsr studs as mentioned. I ordered some from a company and they sent me the ls one's. I had to buy another set from someone else, b/c they were wanting to charge me 157.00 for the replacement set! ******** at Dynoflo Performance, oh and they are on ebay. Good prices, but a definate lack of product knowledge and customer service)

 

still use gsr arp studs for a ls block and a b16 head?thanks

 

im wondering the same thing.. ls vtec with a ls block and b16 head
are b16 head studs long enough?? or do i have to get GSR studs??

 

yeah i want to know the same thing i have a b20b block and b16 head? what arp bolt gsr's? or b16?

 

i think i read to use the gsr's,i hope

thanks man

 

i just finished bolting up my B16 head to a B20 block with ARP studs for a GSR engine.......worked fine.........those are the correct ARP studs you need

 

GSR ones... thats what i have... on.. and dont for get the connecting rod bolts too.. revvin time..

 

yes exactly what this guy said i have gsr on mines, gsr head studs for lsvtec with b16 head, dont forget rod bolts 8mm, not 9, 9 will not work

 

Use the GSR, they are 150-thousandths longer than the B16. The 208-4303 is exactly equal to the 208-4306, same studs, same nuts, and same washers. ARP didn't fiure it out until they had created another part number.

i am going to order arp rod bolts for my b20 vtec with a b16 head but for sure is it 8mm rod bolts or is it 9mm? because isnt a b20 2.0l so wouldnt 9's be the best can someone help?

 

its 8mm for sure because the 9mm's only fit on the gsr rods. the hole size on the rod is different, so you cannot use the 9mm's on a B20, 8mm for sure : )

 

thanks yo for your help.
