rpms

just wondering what the difference in redline is between the gsr and ls integra are - and why are they different?

[tsugsr]

the LS's redline is 6,800 while the GSR's is 8,200. the redline is different because of higher compression motor, vtec, and a bunch of other little things.

ohhhhhhhh - ok - makes sence

the Ls also has a lower rod ratio which is like 1.54 which means at high rpms the ls would start side loading

[~ls/vtec~]

what if u get the block balanced and blueprinted? and then get the bottom maincaps from a gsr. would that help to keep the block together?

what do you mean by side loading? i was a damn idiot and bought this racing chip(so to say) off ebay and installed it. it gave me some noticable gains and set my rev limiter to 9,200 rpm's. yeah, that high. i was the dumbass that i was and would take it to 8k or sometimes 8,500 rpm's. yeah real stupid of me. well, i spun a bearing in that engine and that is why i know have to b20. i did take out the racing chip. but can reving the engine that high cause that to happen?

side loading is when you dont have a good rod ratio like the ls (1.54) at high rpms the piston dont come down in the center they come down off to one side

ah i see. thnx for clearifing that for me.

i have a prob with my 93 Ls its an auto with a powerchip dotn know wat one. but the revs go to 7000 but its really slow. Its sounds really gutsy but its hell slow. My friend says it my transmission and i polli need to replace the clutch pads cause the power isnt getting to the wheels. i dont know what the hell is going on ive never heard of changing pads in an auto befor, help

[~ls/vtec~]

try the torque converter no the clutch pads

[integralover]

i'd like to see him replace the clutch pads. i had a friend who had a 93 ls that was auto. she hated her car. then she drove mine and damn she could work a stick

[AMinHtY]

hey integra lover do u have any more pics of ur car
i wanna check it out

so how can you prevent side loading - do you have get new rods, pistons and cranks - how much power could you get if you changed those two things - and maybe the camshafts too?

[tsugsr]

to prevent side loading you need to make sure you have the proper rod/stroke ratio, which is done by proper piston/rod/ and crank selection. and as for how much power...that all depends on which parts you go with for where you want your power band to be.
