LS Block....?

[krisnatama]

On the discussion on the B20 block with B18 Head (CRVTec) I found a lot of discussion on Honda LS Block instead of B20 block, my question is, I am not clear what LS stand for, and from what car its come from, please let me know some more on this

Thanks

the ONLY difference between the B18B (LS) block and the B20B (CRV) block is the size of the bore which is 81mm (LS) vs 84mm (CRV).

(if anyone wants to be ultra pedantic, the difference is due to the type of cylinder sleeves also, with the B18B having removable iron sleeves, and the B20B has a hybrid siamese non-removable sleeves)

when did the b18b for ls come out?

[tinkerbell]

the DC4 Honda Integra GSi's had the B18B in Australia...

the DC4 Acura Integra LS came out with the B18B around 1994 in the USDM market...
