i found a set of type r pistons with a ceramic top coat i was gonna get them and the guy said that crower didnt make a rod for the type r pistons so could i use a stock type r rod or do i need to get ls rods and will the ls rods work on a type r piston another ? if i get a vtec piston do i need to run a vtec rod if you could just give me some tech on the bottom end it would help out alot i got a 1994 gsr head and a 1991 ls bottom and will earls fittings work for the external oil line and if so do you have part#'s thanx

 

With the LS crank you have to run the LS rod, VTEC rods are too long. You can use the LS rod with a GSR/Type-R/CTR piston, you just have to machine the small end of the rod to accept the pistons. The rod is too fat to fit without machining. I ran LS rods in my LS/VTEC with CTR pistons and this setup worked fine. I would recommend upgrading to ARP rod bolts.

 

 

i already puchased arp rods for the ls rods is this part # correct arp-208-6401 they are 9mm bolts and im looking for some crower rods and another question will ls crower rods work with the type r pistons and is grinding the top of the rods something i can do or do i need to let a machine shop do it

 

Let the machine shop do it. It is not that expensive, and you don't want to cut corners on something as important as engine internals.

 

what is the engine bore size on the b18a and when pistons bore size do i need to get and will the earsl fittings work for the external oil like i got work from someone that z10 is where i needed to get the fittings thanx for all the help fellas

 

Where's the punctiation!?!? In all of your posts combined the only punctuation I see is a question mark!

 

how did you like the CTR pistons in your LSV? What other mods did you have and what kinda numbers were you getting in the 1/4th and dyno? Just curious cuz I'm buidling my block right now w/ some CTRs too.

Thanks

 

175 whp at Import Builders on ITR pistons. Never dynoed with the CTR's. No 1/4 mile times either. I just built the motor to run when my GSR block was out; it's my daily driver, so it can't be down.
