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

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?

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

 

[lsvtec]

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]

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

 

[deth101]

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]

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

do a search under my name in the FI forum for block gaurds. I've covered my opinions on this several times.
