ls/vtec question
i am in the middle of a ls/vtec swap
b18b bottom end , with a b17a1 head
need to know if i can use the b17 gsr head studs,
also need to know if i have to cut the releifs in the b18b pistons
as a frined of mine just did a b16/b20 swap in his civic and did not do any thing to the pistons
thanks alot

Re: ls/vtec question
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

it is a good idea to upgrade the water pump. yes it helps with the cooling

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
