I am looking at building an LSvtec as a project and I would be using the kit that is sold here on honda tech https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=420826. I would be using the pistons out my b16 with a new ring set. I would also be using GSR oil pump, water pump, and timing belt. I would also be balancing the Crankshaft.

I would be reving this motor and would like to see it above 8k.

Question: Is the Block Girdle from a b18c1 the best one to use and is it possible to install Piston Squirters on the LS block.

Question: If I take an LSvtec with this setup (including girdle) above 8k will it decrease it's overall reliability significantly?

 

the answer to your questions are yes and yes anything you rev out to 8k will become less and less reliable and more wear. will a motor last 50-60k w/ revving to 8k on numerous occasion if maintained i dont see why not if your looking for that kind of mileage out of it.

Everyone will tell you its all on how its built. I love my setup and w/ the right patience it will be well worth while investment. Here is my setup i have over 2500 miles on it drive it to work everyday and race it hard at the track quite often at least 2times a month when i see the need after new parts or something new i adjusted. So its all up to you. Ive just done whats been proven to work w/ a good combo anything is possible

Thank you for your reply. Infact, thank you very much.

Rude and immature responses and people yelling "search" are far to abundant on H-T nowadays.
I appreciate the help.
