Well first off the block is an 84mm GE B18b with Arias pistons, Eagle rods, and a built GSR head. This motor will be turbocharged in the near future after the build.

Can someone please give me a rundown of every single part that I will need to do this LS/VTEC right. Heres what I came up with:

GSR Oil & Water pumps
GSR Oil pan & Pick-up
GSR Windage tray
GSR Timing belt
Full-Race LS/Vtec dowel pin kit
Cometic 84mm Headgasket
Oil feed from back of block to back of head

Can someone tell me if this is correct, and anything that could make the setup stronger that you recommend, Please tell me.

Thanks for the help!

You don't have to run the GSR water pump and oil pump, but its a good idea to use them. If you do, you will have the use the GSR timing belt. You only need the gsr oil pan, pickup, and windage tray if you are going to add a block girdle. If not, then there is no need for it.

 

That sounds about right. Your stuff matches mine but im still using my ls pan,windage tray, and oil pick up. I say your all set for the bottom end.

 

Thanks guys, I'm going to use the Z-10 or Endyn Block girdle in the block.

 

You know golden eagle sells a complete ls/vtec kit. it has dowell pins, sandwich plate and oil lines, with plugs even a bit to thread the oil hole in the head to plug it. Its a pretty complete kit. you can even get the arp headstuds with it. I got mine from ligtning

 

looks good

 

Which ARP headstuds do I need to use.

GSR or LS?

 

gsr studs

 

Sorry about all the posts, but which headgasket will I need GSR or LS?

Thanks guys

 

LS gasket

If you have a complete stock bottom (b18b) than leave it. You don't need the GSR Oil & Water pumps, GSR Oil pan & Pick-up and GSR Windage tray. LS is fine. You do need everything else and p28 ecu and gsr head studs. I would rather go with b16 or type r head for better flow and lower compression but gsr will do either way. GL
