im gettin ready for my winter project - turbo'ing my LS motor
im gonna build the motor strong though so my question is do i do my block first or my head???

my block plans - sleeve and pistons/rods (maybe crank if i can $ it)

head - port/pollish, cams/gears, lifters springs retainers etc

any suggestions?

 

if your gonna be boosting alot (10+ psi) focus on your block for now. once you take care of that, you can work on the head.

 

the more (boost), the merrier!

and i wanna stroke it! :naughty:

 

hmmmm...stroked LS motor + boost = lotsa torque :bigok:

 

ayyyyyyyyy-men!!
and add that to an otherwise stock 93 civic, you've got one hell of a sleeper!! :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :thumbup:

 

time to rip the rice boys a new hole...good for you :thumbup:

 

well i gotta be honest, my friend is puttin 97+ eclipse headlights on it but hell thats just to throw people off a tad.... i might even go with one of those gaayy erector set wings and an APC sticker *evil laugh*

 

stroking a boosted engine... Ever heard of crank walk?

 

ok... i'm a noob to engine tech.. so here is the question... making a block strong by crank? what does that mean and how is it done. then what does it mean when an engine is stroked? no pun intended.

my idea would be to us a B20 block and put a B18C1 head on it and using low compression pistons off of LS engine, then using type r cam. my question for that would be... would i still be able to use my regular civic shift linkage and wire harness or will i have to use a GSR shift linkage and GSR harness???

like i said... i'm a noob to engine tech... so please don't flame... the burrito i ate at Uno Mas for lunch is doing enough flaming already... haha

 

you should post this in the engine tech forum. they know alot more.

as for making the block strong by crank, he means reinforcing the crankshaft. stroking an engine means making it bigger in displacement. this can be done in various ways.
