Sleeved GSR or LS block?
Lets say you have to pick which one to get sleeved, which block would you choose? I was thinking a ls block for the bigger crank but gsr for the oil squirters. I heard when you run Arias pistons and other pistons of the same material, oil squirters isn't even necessary. I can't decide wether to sleeve my gsr block or ls block. Pick one. Of course LS will be ls/vtec. I searched and didn't find anything.
(ie crank, rods, pistons)

u dont need the oil squirters with forged pistons
get a sleeved gsr so u dont have to waste money on an LSVTEC kit.

Exactly.. doesnt the GSR have a factory girdle too?

Re: (faSHOwidIT)
then sleeve the LS block and sell the GSR since its worth more money. the girdle is worthless imo, ive seen a lot of people do prefectly fine without one. oil squirters are not needed for ur forged pistons.

Re: (faSHOwidIT)
Keep the gsr block just so you dont have to run that external oil line....especially since you will be turbo you dont want a million lines back there (vtec oil, turbo feed, oil pressure)...i would just use the gsr block....it has oil squirters as well but there pointless on a built motor, they help cool a cast piston but since you will be forged which can take alot more heat dont worry about it.

perfectly fine making small power maybe. 10k rpms and 5-600whp i would feel alot safer with a girdle.the gsr block is better period.
