[lilhomie8913]

I have a b18b block and a b16 head that am using to do an ls vtec any suggestions am gonna be putting it in my 93 da is gonna be my DD just wanna add a little more power to my da I need ideas thanks.

Couple of option... Good for DD and pump gas!

BC makes an econo rod..
RS machine, Nippon, or even Honda Piston.. 11:1-12:1..
ITR or better cam shaft (Skunk2 tuner 3, or Pro1-2) Even a Blox C or pro1-2..
Springs Retainers, and Valves (skunk2, ferrea)
Intake choice would be Skunk2 or AEBS..
Hytech, Rmf, TODA, smsp header..

Wanna make power, there you go.. Wanna go cheap then good luck...LOL

dumb thread tbh
and a super long run on sentence

[lilhomie8913]

So some b16 pistons be good to get the blocke bored out and put them in

[RBS]

my suggestion is to make sure whoever is building it knows what they are doing. bolt ons and go fast parts are useless if the engine is assembled improperly

very true! if nothing else i would resurface the head AND the block. speaking from experience. and i got some usdm gsr pistons if your interested

[Infamous_1]

get some forged rods and pistons, or arp rod bolts to be on the safe side
or you can buy my block and pistons....

[lilhomie8913]

The block I have is a jdm b18b with a b16 head that is lsvtec ready. The head was allready intalled in an ls block but my friend spunn a bearing,but iam getting head ressurfaced.and am putting the block together my self I've built all motor ls but never done an ls vtec so I figuered I take a chance on my spare jdm block that's just collecting dust.lol

[Infamous_1]

You need a new crank if it spun a bearing.

[lilhomie8913]

He spun a bearing in his block not mine

[RBS]

you've built a all motor LS? the real question is how did that motor run? if good then go for it with this new engine build.. like the previous posters stated if you are tearing the bottom end apart you should get at bare minimum ARP rod bolts and a Vtec oil/water pump.

[lilhomie8913]

My motor that I built is still running I done put 150k on it and sttill has hell of power.the only reason am building this because I have a spare jdm b18 block and I ran into a really good deal ona b16 head that's ls vtec ready

[RBS]

just dont rev past 7500 on a stock bottom...

like the previous posters stated if you are tearing the bottom end apart you should get at bare minimum ARP rod bolts and a Vtec oil/water pump.

^^do that and make sure to get GSR head studs or better arp GSR head studs
