So its been a long year. Searching and then searching again and then researching the info you just searched about. So here is what i have and then what i need.
HAVE:
B18a
p30 pistons .25 os
pr4 rods: shotpeened with arp rod bolts
honda .25 os piston rings
acl main and rod bearings
arp main studs
GSR oil pump
b16a head
obd0 ecu
b16 tranny with act clutch
micropolished crank
NEED:
GSR timing belt
GSR water pump
GE lsvtec kit
arp GSR head studs

Im not going to get the GSR girdle. I know its extra protection but im not going to get it. If there is anything else i need that you dont see on my list PLEASE TELL ME! Im going to put together the block as soon as i get the bearings and piston rings in the mail. Oh and by the way this is going in my 91 civic si with a b16 swap already in it. Thanks for any help your guys always rock!

 

Wow, sounds like a nice build. Good piston choice. I have a GE ls/vtec kit and a oem gsr timing belt I would sell if you are interested.

 

looks real solid. you've got or are gettin the right parts. only suggestion might be some better cams than the obd0 b16's, and/or upgrade the valvetrain now while its apart to make room later on. i also might look into valve seals and def, def vtec solenoid gaskets.


heres my motor.
b18a, 81.5mm
wiseco dish pistons,wiseco rings
eagle h beams/arp 2000 bolts
arp gsr headstuds
ge lsvtec kit & dowel pins
b16 head, stock valvetrain, gsr cams
b16 water and oil pumps
gsr tbelt

i ussed all oem bearings and gaskets. head was milled, 3 angle and tanked, block was decked and tanked as well. the whole thing was rebuilt.


i dont have the girdle, i have rev limiter at 8200 right now, and im running 8 psi. i dont plan on going much higher in the rpms, and i dont forsee any problems with reving that high. on the ls' the main problem keeping them from revving is the head not the block

 

yeah actually i forgot to mention i have gsr cams sitting around too, so those will be going in. And i will also be reving it to a max of 8200. thanks for the information and suggestions

 

get some oil squirters and have em put in the block before you put it together. never hurts to have extra lubrication. espicially when reving the **** outta it.

 

thats true, but i dont think 8200 would be reving the **** out of it. Some people rev it to 9 but i dont think i will be making much power pat 8200 with only gsr cams.

The GSR cams are less aggressive then the b16 cams (as far as top end)

The GSR cams will give you a bit more midrange but the gsr cams won't be making anymore power past about 7200-7400 the b16 cams are designed more for top-end.

 

hmm. thats interesting. I havent heard that before. I heard putting gsr cams in there would give a few more hp.
