    Default Ls/Vtec Help

    Was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions on my ls/vtec build.

    Engine:B18A
    Rods:Eagle
    Pistons:B16(PR3)
    Head:B16(PR3)
    Cams:ITR
    Valves:ITR(valves springs retainers)
    IM:Skunk2
    TB:65mm JG EdelBrock (or skunk2 TB?)

    1. How high would i Be able to rev?
    2. How much power could i be looking at?

    thanks

    dont worry about revving high worry about where your powerband is at

    Also wont make any sence if you want to rev high but your cams top out at lets say 8200 RPM. what kinda cams are u thinking of running?

    Eagle rods with B16 pistons? not worth it, way too much to make them work. OEM uses a different Wrist Pin than aftermarket, either buy aftermarket pistons, or run sotkc rods with ARP bolts

    i was thinking that too .. but didnt want to but too much pressure on the stock rods .. would they hold?
    But either way .. im kinda sorta looking into boost so i may change out and use after market 10:5:1 pistons.

    BTW i do have arp head studs .. and also arp rod bolts ... thanks

    ive been reading alot into using LS rods, guys on H-t are running 9mm rod bolts, with shotpeened LS rods. i dont know what it cost to get them shotpeened, but seems like it is working for those LS vtec guys revvin out at around 8500 daily.
