I've searched but couldn't find the exact answers i was looking for, I just want to know, Is it possible that i could use a gsr crankshaft, gsr eagle rods, gsr cp pistons(11:5), in a B18a1 block, with a B16a head (obd1 distributor), and B16 cams and cam gears, and gsr transmission (all going into a 1994 integra)? i know it might not be the best set-up, but i just want to know if its possible, and will it run? this is the setup i have now and i want to get it running in my car soon.. i am still ordering the other parts like ecu, axles, vtec conversion kit, and all other small parts needed, but as far as the parts listed above? will it work? thanks for your help

 

let me also add that im not looking to make this a track car, its going to be my daily driver for a little while.. and i know your gonna say "well why the high compression then?" but i got the motor and all the parts out of a deal with a friend.. so im trying to get this thing running in good time..

yes its possible

 

thanks..bump

This is not a LS/Vtec, this is a poor mans type R with a LS block. I guess "Poorer mans type R".


The whole idea behind LS/V is that you use the crank of the LS. But to answer your question. yes, what you have will work.

He's right with the gsr crank and rods your defintley gonna lose some torque. That's one of the major reasons behind ls/v. But sometimes you gotta work with what you got. It just will not really be considered a ls/v but it will work.

 

how much of a difference will it really make?..if he is using 11.5:1 pistons that are meant for a GSR will he yeild that compression right??..just lose a little bit of torque thats all..

 

if they are 11.5:1 GSR pistons, thats the compression they will be with a GSR crank, correct?

 

thats what he says, why would he techinally lose torque though?

put it shortly, torque is altered by the length of the stroke not the CR, longer stroke + same compression = more torque

 

worrrrd

 

yea the gsr crank with the gsr rods will be yeilding a shorter stroke to my knowledge..damnit i love this site.. ive learned so much
