i have: "Daily Driver"
ITR pistons
LS Block
Gsr Head

would this be an Ideal build>? is there anything that i need to know as far as the LS crank and the ITR pistons and rods matching up> ?

would you reccomend a GSR girdle?
would you recomend Total Seal Rings....

please let me know anything i need to know about this build. ty....

 

so this is pretty much an lsvtec build?

be sure to get arp rold bolts with arp head studs. ITR pistons would go onto the ls rods with very little work. gsr girdle would be cool, but you'd need the oil pan(please correct me if i'm wrong). also be sure to get the gsr/itr oil/water pump.

and of course compliment the setup with some cams like skunk2 stage2's.

 

ok i have a ITR oil and water pump in my B20B i will swap over ......also would it be better to use LS rods or can i just stick with the ITR rods/? they are complete with pins and all...

 

what crank are you using? if its ls, then you have to use ls.

 

WELL you just answered my question. i dont have the ITR crank.....so therefore i will use ls but i dont liek there strength i need something stronger. maybe look towards after market...we will see, thanKs for the info though. GOTTA SAAVE SOME $$ NOW lol.

 

Ls rods are just as good. Just get them shot peened or something. But if you're going to be revving it high, get arp rod bolts.

 

You do know that you can't just press on ITR pistons onto LS rods without machine work to make the rods fit the ITR pistons?

ls cranks are great??? an after market one would just be a waste of money...

 

how much power are you planning on making that an ls crank isn't strong enough??


stock ls rods are plently strong as well, you just need arp rod bolts like suggested(and arp headstuds)
b16 pistons fit directly on ls rods and you can get a bit more compression out of them. I know its not hard to have the rod ends machined to accept itr pistons, but why bother when you can get rs machine b16 pistons that are coated as well.

I would only use oem or hastings rings for the pistons.

and since you already have a b20, why not just build that instead of an ls, the cost is going to be pretty much the same either way but u end up with .2 greater displacement.



if I were you I would do a little more research.
