if you go LSV, im pretty sure the ITR IM will fit... but if your going to boost id just get a LS block and boost that.

Just build the LS and boost the **** out of it. Keep the GS-R tranny to go with.

Whoever was holding the camera in the first video needs to be shot.

it will fit as long as he doesn't go w/ a gsr head

i'm with building the b18b motor and boosting that, unless you wanna spend alot fo cash to make a boosted ls/v reliable

or pick up another gsr motor...but ou might end up in the same boat down the road

The LS will be cheaper to buy initially. Since you're building the motor, the only advantage to having a GSR is the shorter rod/stroke ratio. But since you're building it, that doesn't really matter any way.

You will have wasted less money on the LS. You wont feel as bad when it blows up.

if he has to buy a whole new motor the ls would be cheaper, but if he still has the gsr head, i would get the gsr block.

you can make more power out of the gsr, if you are planning on taking it that far

I never really understood why people put body kits that dont even fit correctly on their car. I know some people like the look, but if it doesn't even fit right, why do it? Care to enlighten me buster?

just get your gsr block sleeved and keep the crank, you will make more tq with an ls, but then you will have to worry about more oil lines etc etc

why would he do that when he already has a vtec head, and a gsr transmission, along with good gsr rods/crank... he cracked a sleeve on his gsr which is why he was wondering which block he should go with to sleeve it

Id boost the ls simply because it doesnt have vtec. an ls has more compression than a gsr. keep the ls tranny too, or a gsr tranny would do good with slicks

your wrong, the gsr has more compression stock, but that doesnt even matter since he is replacing the pistons anyway, he can make it whatever compression he wants. besides a vtec will always flow better than an ls head.

Turbos love high compression too, less boost and more power
