No and NO

Re: ls/vtec question
b18 gsr head studs or bolts and a b18gsr timing belt should be the order of the day. While you're at it, might as well replace the ls water pump with a gsr unit...22 teeth as compared to 18.

ok thanks,
as i stated befor , my buddie did a b20/b16 swap, he also used his b16 head bolts instead of the 1.8 gsr headstuds whats the benifits of using the 1.8gsr timing belt and water pump, better flow for the cooling ?????? joe griffin |

Re: ls/vtec question
the reason for using the 22 tooth water pump for the LS vtec is that the 17 tooth pump will cavitate (spin soo fast that it will no longer effectively push any water through the cooling system) at around 8000 rpms
