I have a blown GSR motor and I was thinking of rebuilding it. I believe it spun a bearing, but not entirely sure. I'm on a budget, but I was also thinking of building an LS/Vtec with the head, manifold and anything else I could use. I know alot of the cost depends on the machining required to rebuild the B18C, but I was also wondering about the power comparison between the two as well as reliability. I've been researching alot on a LS/Vtec build, but I'm sure which route I should take? Any input would be great.

Thanks

sell me the gsr shortblock...you can keep the pistons/rods and crank.....

hotrex · 11-08-2005, 06:35 PM

ls/vtec will make slightly more power and tq due to slightly more displacement.

stock block i would rather have the b18c.

if the blocks were built, id go ls/vtec

Get an LS crank and rods, then use them in the GSR block with a nice set of custom pistons. You'll have all the advantages of the LS/VTEC but with the features of the GSR block.

hotrex · 11-09-2005, 12:43 AM

good point

freddycivic · 11-09-2005, 11:23 AM

I was thinking of that, which leads me into my next question, where can I get a set of JDM P30 pistons (or PR3) for a good price? A place in Canada would be preferably. I've seen shit on Ebay, but I don't really trust what I see.

Anyone know here I can get some JDM P30 pistons, or even PR3s? A place in Canada would be nice.

Thanks
