Hey guys what's up, I'm getting a B18a1 block for free so I decided to do LS vtec with the Type R head that I currently have on my B16a I just have couple questions. What are the parts I need, I need to kno all that parts that I need down to the bolt, so everything will go smoothly. And would CTR pistons work with the stock LS rods? Also is this set up save to run up to 8200 rpm? since the LS is made to run 6500 rpm. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Golden Eagle LSVTEC Conversion kit (comes with headgasket, oil lines, plugs.. everything you need)
ARP Rod bolts
Crankshaft Balance
GSR oil pump
GSR water pump / Timing belt
ARP head studs

LS Rods are weak because of the 7mm rod bolts, if you use the 8mm ARP joints, you're good to 8200. I would also get the crank balanced, because Non VTEC cranks aren't balanced as well as their VTEC counterparts.

 

rod big ends are also going to have to be resized after arp rod bolt install also.
