I am building a all-motor ls/vtec and was wanting to know if the ls rods will work all right with itr standard size pistons. I looked up the comp. ratio it is supposed to be 11:5 which seems good for 92 premium pump gas and for a daily drivin motor

remember that when you use ls rods... you have to use an ls crank.

 

if u use ls rods with itr pistons i think u have to shave 1mm off each of the rod for the piston to fit

 

wat is your oversized piston? .25 oversized? i have the jdm .40 oversized pistons on my ls rods and ls crank, balanced and edged, and its a great build and is strong and was built to last. itll be fine, all i gotta say is make sure who puts it together knows what there doing cause thats wats matters is who puts your motor together.

nope!.. to use ls crank you must us ls rods.. and to use ls rods you must shave 1 mm on each side of the wrist pin side..

 

Exactly

 

ahh expletive it... i was thinking about pr3 pistons.

ok, you guys are right... im sorry.

 

lol i only say i think because i was trying to give a quick answer and i dont know off the top of my head exactly how much it was but im glad u got taught every car is different

ls rods and b16a rods have the same small end size, both b16a, b17 and ls rods have to be shaved 1mm on both sides i do believe. gsr, b16b and b18cR rods dont have to be shaved.

 

ya but he is using pr4 rods

read what i wrote again. you have to shave the rods to fit ITR,pct, or gsr pistons IF they are b16a,b17, or ls rods.

 

he is trying to LS VTEC U CANT USE any other stock rod to go lsvtec


read it again let it sink in

 

^^yea i wasnt stating that he can use those rods, if you read my first post talking about gsrious's post youll get what i mean. he was saying you only have to shave the rod if they are b16a rods, but that is not fully true because you have to shave pr4/p75, b16a, and b17a rods in order to fit ITR, pct, or gsr pistons. i was no where near saying that he cant or should use different rods.

 

what about if you get NPR 82mm itr replicas pistons with a bore then can you use LS rods without having to shave anything?
