is it possible that u can put oil squiters in an ls botom end for a ls vtec set up?

 

Anything is 'possible'. Practical and necessary, however...

 

just trying to get more oil to the pistions, and i thaught it would be a good idea to add oil squiters cause i plan on adding ctr pistions with a fully built bottom end...any suggestions on getting more oil to lubrciant the pistions before i damage something..

 

why it's not worth the money or time

it doesn't improve oiling it is there to help cool the pistons

 

Don't run CTR pistons; opt for B16 pistons instead. No reason that a properly assembled and tuned LSVTEC should 'damage' anything.

 

ight know iam running jdm itr pistions and the bottom end is built with acl bearings and rod bolts and its tunned. only thing i haven't changed was the connecting rods.. the reason for the oil squiters was beacause i just read a article saying how the ls bottom has a bad r/s ratio it would last do to the lack of oil squiters to cool the pistions and other b/s. i put alot of time and money into my build and don't want to blow it, iam just looking for a way to cool the pistions. you think the ctr pistions are a bad choice? iam just trying to up my comp. ratio a little more..

There are much better ways of finding power.

ok how is this my friend i did the basics, and only thing left to do is upgrade the cams, get cam gears and degree them..but iam still worried about cooling the pistions and the bad r/s ratio that sh*t is really bugging me.

 

the itr and gsr have almost the same r/s ratio as the ls,and the go 8500+rpms all the time. the oilsquirters wont hurt anything but if your bearing clearances are good then it will last a long time{assuming you have arp rod bolts}. also if that was the case then why do people out ls internals in gsr blocks and plug off the squirters

good point...so basically what i read was b/s my motors good as any other well built honda motor without the oil squiters and block guard?

 

yep, as long as your bottom end has a good blueprint and you did the rodbolts your set. theres lots of guys on here with that setup that have been running them for years

 

and actually i have my ls-v bottom end together already ,but im running it with the ls head until the funds allow me to get my head ready.

 

what do u mean by blueprint

At what point is the ratio of rod length to stroke length considered bad? I've always wondered this.

GSR/ITR = 1.58
B18a/b, B20b/z = 1.54

So, is bad like 1.56?

Now consider what the differences between the two R/S ratios will theoretically do for your particular motor and design it with that in mind.

Theoretically, the higher R/S ratio motor will make peak power more to the right on a graph than the lower R/S ratio motor.

 

blue print is just careful and measuring and machning of all aspect of your bottom end.
yeah a b16 has a great r/s ratio but you have to rev it to over 9000+ to make peak power and is still torqeless with no mid range, the 1.8's have a lower r/s ratio but make peak power lower and still make good mid range power/torqe.
as long as you build your motor{cams,intake,header,etc} around what it will give you the best{mid range/torqe} youll have a happy motor. that was a great point bambam

what about ctr pistions in an lsv setup thoug good or bad idea

I'm not usually a dick (at least I don't think I am), but I'm going to recommend using the search button. Honestly, this is probably the most documented topic on honda-tech. Plus, I'm off to the titty bar w/ a few of the girls so I don't have much time to respond right now...

 

wtf... i wish i could be off to the titty bar. if only i would have stayed single. cop a feel for me
