how's this holding up? I'm building an ls/v daily (pistons rods turbo plus head work) and wondering what rpm I could safely take it to without a girdle or any crank work
@@skumboiz aight. I have 85lb springs and ti retainers and that's it for head work, then cp pistons and k1 tech rods for the lower. it's gonna be a daily so I think im gonna do 8200 just so I don't blow up 2000 dollars
@@sideshow45 sleeves don't care about rpm, but they do start to go at 500 on b18s all around. my concern was rpm and what cam, I know the b16 doesn't use a girdle but the r/s ratio is 1.75 and the gsr is only 1.58, hence why it uses a girdle and the b16 doesn't. the ls is 1.54, so close enough to the gsr to consider the same. I figured it since I'm doing all forged internals, it'll be much lighter than stock and with a fresh rebuild if should eat that rpm
my eg didnt have a working speedometer either
Nice

@@southproduct7463 stock b16 dont have a girdle and see 8500. You can rev to 9k. Girdles are a waste. Sleeves are what you need to worry about.
