i just got my new engine in and i now have money to start my ls/vtec project

however i dont know sh!t when it comes to building a reliable engine

i searched the forums for a couple hours and so far all i have been able to find out is that i need a balanced crank shaft and better head studs

i want to know exactly what i will need to balance my motor to be able to handle 7500rpm when i get the b16a head

so a full list of everything im going to need would be great


also if any1 reading this has a ls/vtec how much did it cost you to get to where your at today and what kind of hp are your running with what setup?


thanks

 

Moved to Engine Tech & Tuning.

 

take it to a machine shop that specializes in honda engines. upgrade the rod bolts or get new rods entirely, and add a girdle.

 

Balancing is a machining process, not a "throw parts at it" process.
