this will be my 1st all motor set up... i blew two turbo motors so now i wanna stick to All motor....

this is what i have so far.

95 gsr head
ported
skunk 2 valvetrain.titanium retainers
supertech valves
skunk 2 stage 3 cams
JG intake manifold
hytech header.

the problem is im not sure on what kind of block i should put it on....i know compression is a big issue but idk **** of that...... i have two b16a blocks laying around what pistons and rods should i use if i go with the b16? or should i go with a 1.8? 2.0?

thanx in advance..

 

go 1.8

 

What do you intend on using the car for(dd,drag,road coarse, weekend warrior). What vehicle is it going in.

 

daily driven like 20 miles a day...if i go with the 1.8 what pistons and rods should i go with?

 

i think u would do much better...with some stage 2 rather then stage 3..for a daily..

 

I agree with WattsUp, I've made the mistake of throwing "race" cams in my daily driven car too many times. The extra power sounds good initially, and then you get stuck in traffic.....

X2

 

i would go 12:1 compression with a b20 block.
keep the head the same unless you have the extra money to p/u smaller cams.

 

is ur stage 3 cam a pro series or a tuner series? cause if its a tuner series that should be street driveable without much of a problem. but if its a pro series than pull them out and sell them cause there gonna be wayyyy to big for anything on the street.

 

they are tuner series ... i actually wanted to stcik to what i have my budget is low right now and i dont wanna struggle in selling these cams and buying stage 2's .... ive searched and im thinking of a b20 with the Rs pistons the type r's....... what rods will i need with those pistons? eagle rods?

 

u cant mate eagle rods to oem pistons cause the oem pistons uses like a c-clip thing and the aftermarket uses something entirely different. either go aftermarket or oem but u cant do both. im using je pistons and eagle rods.

 

x2...i got je pistons and eagle h beam rods and so far tehy are holding up just fine in my b20vtec after 2k

Yeah i hear you on reselling parts that u dont need...and trading someone stage 3's for stage 2 will be a lil difficult....
that RS b20b/z type r piston would be great. They have been proven to make 200+ power and u dont need aftermarket rods. You can use the stock b20b rods but make sure u reinforce them with some ARP bolts for extra security.There is alot of people runing this setup and have great N/A power. Just ask Happy about it he has that same setup and his always posting up his dyno and his specs with no problems...
btw your new red eg is clean....
p.s.let me know if your looking for a b20b shortblock I got one for sale

 

thanx and this motor will be going on that car.


how much u looking to get for that shortblock

Wrong.

OEM pistons are pressed onto the rods with heat.

Aftermarket pistons use c-clips to fasten the wristpin to the rod.

And you can use RS Machines' new pistons with aftermarket rods AND OEM rods.

thanks but idunno if u read my post very well. i said u cant mate eagle rods to oem pistons. which is true you cant. good for rs machines though its about time somebody produced a piston for both setups.
