im tryin to make my b18a as strong and reliable as i can n wana know if these r everything that will do the trick
(im not tryin to biuld the block or anything jus have it more reliable so i can race more often without worrying to bad about anything)
i have blown two b18a blocks out of the 4 ive had and i jus took my car to 7k once and a while,but one time i found a shim in my oilpan so someone shimmed a bearing… anyway
-99 civic si rod bearings
-b20 oilpump(not sure what b20 oilpump but ive heard thats the pump thats best)
-gsr girdle and main bearings (not sure what i gotta do)
-b16 water pump (what timing belt do i use)?
and if anyone has these parts i got lots of mods,swap parts and stock parts for da’s,crx’s and eg’s that i will trade
rod bearings - go with the correct size ls only
oil pump - itr is far better than a b20
mains/girdle - same story as the rod bearings…girdle i know nothing about
water pump - ls, no point whatsoever in using a b16
well yes, pr3 bearings are built to handle higher revs, but from what i understand they don’t work in ls rods because the tangs are different. 7k is not a problem with stock bearings, and oem is what you want. don’t worry about acl’s unless you’re doing some serious shit.
