I've done some searching and figured out the proper way to build one, but there are a couple questions I still have:

How do the different heads and pistons (Honda), affect the compression ratio?
I have a b18a block, what would I end up with if I got a b16a1 head, and CTR pistons?

Can I run CTR Cams with that setup too?

What I'm worried about is piston to valve clearance. I know that it's an issue in CRVTEC's but I don't know about in the LS motors.

Are shotpeened LS rods OK for an allmotor setup(with ARP rod bolts) or should I go with forged rods? I'm trying to build this thing with all Honda parts.

Thanks in advance for any info.

 

You're gonna get ALOT of SEARCH reponses...

SEARCH for lsvtec and a TON of info will pop up. You just have to read man. If I did, you can too!

OK, so I've searched some more and the consensus seems to be that LS rods are fine up to 8k or so pretty reliably, so that's good.

I can't seem to locate any info on using the CTR components though. I know that you can use the pistons, but no where have I found the CR for those pistons in an LS block with a b16 head.

I also can't find any specifics on the cams being used, although I see people using Toda's and I think those are bigger than CTR cams.

I'll keep searching, but if any of you guys have this setup or know anything more, let know huh?

 

PR3 head/B18A/B Block

STD = 12.825536009218106
.25 OS = 12.88971493738735

Found it... Good lord am I glad I did! 12.8:1! No thanks, I mean we've got 94 octane and all, but I was going all motor to AVOID 100 hrs of tuning and have a daily driver.

So, someone sell me some p30's

 

yep, save yourself the trouble and get some pr3's or p30's

 

sent u a PM..ive got pr3's hehe
