i want to built up a shortblock for my LSVTEC set up JUNKYARD SET UP
here's what i got..

b18a- $30 bare w/mains/crank
GSR crank,GSR rods- free from a friend.
OS PR3 pistons/rings- $250

Im mitch matching the GSR crank and rods, so im not too sure what it'll be. I check on C-speedracing.com it says it'll be around 11.6 but thats with a b18b shortblock w/pr3 and b16 head, and 11.4 with b18c1 bottom pr3's and b16 head..

I am going to use the stock ls wintage, oil pickup, oil pan for this set up due to the fact that he's keeping the GSR girdles and etc.

my question is...
what would be my compression??
ive search and havent found much..
and who's done this before??

need some answers!!
thanks

 

anyone?

 

Go for it, let us Know if it works. We are all looking for info.

 

thanks
ill probably have to clay the motor before slapping the head on
im bringing the shorblcok to get it bore .20 sometime next week when i have time
but anyone else?

 

Its weird because you are kind going opposite of what most think of when they think of a gsr/ls hybrid bottom end. Since you are using gsr rods, you have zero oil transport through the block into the head. I really hope you are using a external oil line.

otherwise good luck, and keep your tolerances and torque specs within spec. good luck!

 

yeah i know, i have the proper tools. i wont confuse myself my tourqing the bolts on a ls spec when using gsr rods/etc. yeah it sounds kinda wierd but im not really spending much . im also using an itr oilpump/waterpump. iono about the external oil line
