yea i didnt take a lot of pics casue i was busy trying to get that motor in as soon as possible, tahts why i left the stock ls pistons on there and also because i have like 3 ls blocks laying around

either way, if i go all motor or boost the motor tahts in now is coming out.

kinda want to go all motor since i found a set of type r pistons when i was cleaning out my shed not too long ago. lol

[Sammich]

nice come up man..even though many hate on 17s..those didnt look too bad

[southside]

Dont listen to Southside and use CTR pistons in a 1.8L block. That will bump your compression ratio up to high


(shakes head)
If you're not going to give good advice, you shouldn't give advice at all!

I have seen it done and runs great,So if you have seen it done.Also still ran 93 with no detonation and 404s. So if you dont know what im talking about you shouldnt speak on it.

CTR pistons are the same bore as every other b-series motor except the b20

[Just_CHill]

lol its alirght dude, i laughed when southside said you got a tire as an engine stand, thats funny lol.

just chill, wat do you need for your swap? wat are you swapping in?

LOL!!! You know. I was going back and reading some of the stuff posted here and I never saw this part.

Well, I'm doing a LS/V also into my 93 Civic Hatch. Almost done with it now. Think the startup will be around the first week of Jan. I pray that it runs great with little to no problems. But we will see. Done anything different to yours lately? (Haven't read everything so the answer is probably already here... lol)

nah dude i havent done shit man, i got in some trouble and payed a lot of money to get shit fixed...i almost sold it

just got some stuff planned for the chassis like new shocks, but a new header is going on soon and obd1 conversion, running a chipped ecu from phearable until i get more money for turbo
should be on boost around the summer time.

before you put your motor in dude, make sure you tapped and plugged your head. dotn want 5qts. of oil to leak out as soon as you start it. and get some good rods or at least arp rod bolts, my car hasnt gave me any problems yet. i like the lsv. pulls for it having stock pistons and shit.

[southside]

You have stock rods with arp rod bolts correct?What do you usually rev to?
