i think you'll need to use the LS timing belt... that's what I was told to use, and that's what im using... Im doing LSVTEC also... I got the B16A1 head, gsr water pump and LS TB... got the B16 IM, and a Hedman Chikara Header... that's about it still looking for a crank rods adn pistons... and rings... damn though

**Tonyd0821** · 10-22-2003, 09:14 PM

can i quote an internet rumor? (this way by saying it is a rumor, you fuckers cant flame me....)

but from my "d" series turbo board, i was under the impression that a block guard on a street car would do more damage than good. few peeps were saying it blocks the coolant flow etc.

anyone dispel this myth or?

CRX_B16B · 10-22-2003, 09:24 PM

insted of a block gaurd go for the Darton MID sleeves they seem like they would work good.

lsvtec · 10-22-2003, 10:06 PM

Timing belt and water pump need to be from the same engine. If you use GSR water pump you use GSR timing belt and vice versa.

kevs_92gsr · 10-22-2003, 10:16 PM

If you want a block guard you can get them for $100 on optionsauto.com!!!

deth101 · 10-28-2003, 05:15 PM

there is a reason block guards are $100......do it right and get a sleeve with a deck.golden eagle,or aebs would be good places to start looking

liquid00meth · 10-28-2003, 10:05 PM

block guards are not even worth the 100$ unless your running like a NOS d series or some other ridiculously weak explosive motor
