Hi does somebody know how to install a GSR block gridle in a B16 block the procedures need? and which moroso oil pan will i use for this set up?

 

u would need gsr main caps, girdle, pickup tube windage tray
along with getting the main caps line bored after this is done

gsr pan from moroso will work with there pick up as well

hope this helps

thx for the information it is very usefull.
By any chance do you know how much i have to bore frome the main caps lines?

 

machine shop would have to figure that out

dont just send your block to any machine shop for a line bore. Not too many places can do it correctly, I suggest GE or ERL or any company that sleeves alot of Honda Blocks, your oil pump will thank you.

 

the problem is that arent much machine shops in my country i wolud like to buy the ERL block gridle but is hard to find.

 

you should be find with an OEM girdle, just most shops simply cant do it correctly from what I have seen/heard. I know friends that had oil pump issues, it always came down to the line bore.

 

you can also go on ebay an type in b18 main girdle and add support to the bottom end that way. you will have to utilize the pan windage tray and oil pickup and still remain using the b16 main caps makes for an easy installation and no machine shop needed. the gsr parts can be picked up relatively cheap and the girdle is about $120 so it probaly comes out even with the machine shop all comes down to how much time you have to wait for the machine shop. If you have any questions just ask i'm doing this on my boosted ls/vtec

 

thx yeasterday i had bought a block girdle from a b18c1 gsr integra. it comes with complete block girdle,windage tray and all bolts and dowel pins. Do i need a GSR Oil pick up? I am interested in buying a Oil pan Moroso Acura 1.8L & Honda 1.6L B-Series Engines, Steel-Street/Strip & Road Race
20910 but for this aplication i need p72 oil pick up tube? Cause Moroso they are saying
Recommended Oil Pump & Pickup
- Use Stock Oil Pump & Pickup

But they dont know about the block gridle conversion.

 

I believe that the ls/b16 oil pickup are the same and the type-r and the gsr are the same so i do not believe you can use your stock b16 oil pickup due to them having longer legs to mount. so I believe that you are going to have to acquire a gsr/R pickup and I believe they have no clearance issues with the moroso pan. good luck

 

thx very much for the info ys1civicsi

 

I've seen other just have the tops of the main caps machined to accept the girdle. No need to use the gsr mains and have to line bore.

 

yes but they were as a package now when i recieve them i shall see what is the best thing to do. At least i have found a good Machine shop here tom i should start instaling Darton sleeves.

 

We have some OEM GSR girdles we (ERL) can put on your block if you would like or you can buy one of our ERL 5Pt. girdles with ARP stud kit. You can use your B16 caps and just cut them down, there is no need to get a set of B18C caps. That way you don't have to align bore it also. If you want you can pm me and we can figure out a way for you to ship us your block so we can do the caps and sleeve it if you want.
