i just picked up a y8 today and it has a thrown rod, i need new ones and i was gonna use a set of b18b rods, and i was talking to the kid that diddn't seem to knowledgeable on the deal, he was like why not bump it up a notch and stick ls pistons in there too, i said will they fit he's like i don't know it's kinda tricky, not only that he didnt know much about sohc's in general, it is obd 2 i have to take it to a machine shop but what will i have to do to get it to work in my 94 hatch witch is obd1 just use my factory harness and a p28? and wire for vtec? any help on this will be great i can use a obd2 dizzy on there still right

 

the rod didnt go through the block?

 

made a (galge) spelling , in the bottom of the block before it made it to the cylinder, they said they can smooth it out for me no biggie, it went through the pan, so can anyone awnser the p28 question?

 

LS rods fit with a "burnishing kit"

The pistons will not fit

As for the OBD,, use a Si harness, and a P28.

Get a OBDI dizzy, and modify the mounting holes

 

si harness, do i just use the engine to fire wall, fire wall to ecu or both?

with dizzy, do i have to get a obd1 and modify it to fit and that's it no other work involved with that

and will the stock y8 rods hold six lbs of boost?

 

I have seen a Y-8 with stock internals handle 10 PSI as a daily driver.

You need the harness from the ECU to the motor if you want to do it "right.

 

my stock y8 handles 10lb, daily drivin.
but i think my mounts are going
