everyone with decent street all motor ls projects please say what your set up is becuase i would like to know, so far i got all new bearings and gaskets, head milled, arp head studs, cams, and i want to get new injectors(maybe like prelude injectors), flywheel(what is too light for a flywhee)?, stg 2 act clutch, and also probably a b16 tranny.....oh yeah and a safc too. does anyone have any recomendations about valve springs and retainers and also where could i get new valves, valve springs, and retainers. thanks for all ya'll help in advance

 

go to inline4.com or summit-racing equipment and get Crower Valvesprings, they are only $185 on these 2 sites. Also I use factory retainers b/c they are stronger than Ti retainers and I dont plan on going over 8500 rpm so Im not worried about lightweight.

Click on "MY SETUP AND DYNO" in my sig. It doesnt look like a link but it is!

 

so if you build a ls and keep the factory retainers, you could rev to say 8000 on that head?

I do no problems! I the B16 revs to 8200 with no problems on factory retainers, and they are made of the same material(retainers).

I also run stock retainers and crower springs with big LS cams with no problems.

koo... i was told i should balance the ls bottom end so i can rev to 8k rpm,....what do you think?

 

using stock internals it should already be balanced, unless you replace the Pistons, and then all you have to do is weigh them and make sure they are all within half a gram of each other in weight! If not then go to a machine shop and tell them to balance them! If you have the engine all apart still then go ahead and weigh everything!

k.....would b16 pistons( .25 over) be good to run with the 404's or what comp. should i run with?....i cant get a figure everything out with the c-speed calculator so could you inform me on the c/r would be with the p30 and pr3 pistons in the ls motor with oem headgasket and no mill on the head.?

 

pr3's are close to 10.8:1 and p30's are 11.0:1. they should be fine with 404's. i think the "sweet spot" for 404's is 11.6-11.7:1

 

i think to get the c/r up to 11:5 ill use a 2 layer head gasket and maybe get some new valvesm also what about oil and water pump...should i stay with the ls ones?.

sry for all the questions i just wanna build this right

 

Yeah PR3 and P30's are a good choice to go with!

 

kool, do you think i should go to vtec oil and water pumps?

 

What year is the block?

 

from a 93 teg ...do the blocks make a diff in the pumps?

 

Yes, go with an OBD-II pump. All B-series oil pumps are the same after 97
