will this setup work? i am thinking about destroking my ls from 1834 cc to 1797 ccs in order to rev higher. if i dont change anything but the crank and keep the ls rods and pistons, will it lower compression? anyways, i also have upgraded valvetrain. tell me what you guys think. any help would be apreciated. thanks

 

ls rods are shorter than ITR/GSR rods so the top of your stroke would never reach the top of the deck. youll need to use ITR/GSR rods to go along with the crank and it also wouldnt hurt install a crank girdle to accomodate the higher rpms. also a shitty thing about the non vtec blocks is they lack oil squirters which are good for cooling the factory cast pistons a high rpms. for all the money it sounds like youll spend to do it right id just go with a factory ITR short block or a GSR block if u lack the funds

 

doesnt make it rev any higher......you are losing displacement now with that combo.

 

could i possibly use a gsr bottom end and use my turbo built ls head?

 

no a none vtec head would not bolt to a vtec block....thank god

Absolutely not.....that would totally be a waste of a GSR block.
