hey all, i have seen some B16 blocks built with LS crank, but which rods and pistons do you have to use for this 1.9 set up???

the motor will actually be used for a turbo app probably so if i wanna go with a low compression forged internals, what rod and piston do i order???


help a brutha out

 

you ll have to order a set of custom pistons, as the ones offered by tech43 are high compression. you just have to give them the information on the engine, stroke,rod length, cams etc. you can run b16 rods and might be able get away using some off the shelf stuff but your r/s would suck so i wouldn t even bother for a turbo application

 

thanks, is it because of the block height of the B16???

im not a big R/S ratio guy, all i know is to turn up the boost and add some fuel to make power!

 

You absolutely can't run any off the shelf pistons with B16 rods in this setup. Your only option regarding LS rods is to contact Tech43. Otherwise you're looking at having both custom pistons and custom rods made.
