b18b1(ls) with gsr crank
hey im rebuilding this ls that i have but i only have a gsr crank, is there any pros/cons for using a gsr crank with gsr connecting rods with ls pistons, im going to turbo ones im done so just wanna make sure is going to wrk
Cons:
Less torque out of boost
Pros:
You get to run the GSR rod bearings (narrower and made of a lot better material than LS bearings. Can sustain high RPM much better than the LS bearings)
Shorter stroke means theoretical slightly higher RPM capability (arguable, though, as many people will turn an LSV pretty high)
Stronger connecting rods
Larger rod bolts (9 mm vs 8 mm)
Less torque out of boost

stock LS pistons and LS head? Then you should be fine. And everything that RyanA said. But you cant raelly turn a LSV that high unless its built for over-reving. Still you cant really take it up that high without risking it. Usually people kill their LSV's by revving them to 8k+
