b16b pistons on ls rods??

[94 Ej1]

Im goin to start a ls/vtec build, and wanted to kno What mods need to be done to the rods 2 make this happen? I want to be around 12:1 CR so if that isn't the best route of getting there can someone give me a better ideal...

Thanks bro... by any chance do you kno what rods i can use with ctr pistons that will fit in my ls block??

[jealous1shateric]

i know u have to use gsr rods or type-r rods

yea but the rod length is diff. then Ls rods wont that effect the piston to vavle clearance?

use ls rods if ur using the ls crank im using the ctr pistons on my ls there working perfect

[jealous1shateric]

not if u use gsr rods im not 100% sure

Im goin 2 use the ls crank... but u didnt have to mod the rods to fit the pistons???

Wrong they are shorter just use ls rods and ls crank. You only use gsr rods if your putting a gsr crank in.

Yea but i was doin alittle research and people are telling me you have too mod ls rods to make the pistons fit?? Do you know if thats true from experience?

yea u gotta shot peen the the ls rods( i think thats how u spell it)

shot peen will only make the rods stronger, but that wont make them so the ctr pistons will fit.

you needs the top of the rods milled .5mm on both ends so the piston will fit into the rod. get the rods crio treated instead. you can't use an other rod other than the one the crank was meant to have.

by both ends do you mean .5mm of the top and .5mm off the bottom.. i dont understand my bad.

.5mm of each side, meaning you will machine a total of 1mm of the top of the rod; where the piston pin goes through, you machine .5 out of each side so your piston be dead center on the rod.. the problem here is the rod, the top is too thick for the piston to fit.
