Hey guys, I've done some searching on this topic and havent found a solid answer. I'm putting togeqther a spare motor from parts I have layin around. I will be using a b18b block gsr crank,ctr pistons w/a b16 head. My question is will the gsr crank work with ls rods or would I have to run gsr or even custom leingth rods? From what i kno the stroke on the gsr crank Is 2 mm smaller than the ls, witch should provide some valve clearence for the pistons and the use of a larger cam.
Any info would be useful as to the rods would be helpful.
Also, would I gain more power or torque throuht the powerband with this block/ crank setup?
Thx again

 

gsr crank u need gsr rods...ls crank ls rods...gsr rods are 137.9mm and ls are 137mm...it might work like using a 2mm thicker headgasket...but u wont know till u try it...assemble it and see how it looks..

 

^ true. Bump ne one else have any insight pertaining to this?

 

ls rods won't fit on a gsr crank anyway, so you'd be wasting your time. get gsr rods.
