b16b turbo block internals

[Spoon-Accord]

hello ladies and gentlemen

i've been doing some research and reading around.

since the bare block (b16b and b18c7) is identicle
would using aftermarket pistons,rods and ITR work in a b16b shortblock?

finding connecting rods for a b16b is a mission, most likely would need to be custom.(or should i just get a b16a shortblock and work on that instead of the b16b?)

any ideas or advice would be appreciated
or even post up a build spec you're currently using


as i'm wanting to turbo my car, looking at around 300kw +
and wanting to buy some forged internals to suit.

turbo will be a GTX3071r

b16a/b18c2 cheaper. and are you going to sleeve the block 300kw is alot of power

Do yourself a favour and pick up a itr/vtir crank and stroke it to 1.8. B16b use the same block as b18's so you'll just need 1.8 crank, pistons and rods.

If you want to get a forged rod for the b16b you will need to order what is called a "long rod" for the LS/B20 engine and have the journal width machined to suite the b16b journal. See link for eagle long rod MFG PN: CRS5531A3D

If you are serious and want it talk to the guys at race engineering and they can get it machined for you and sell it to you as a finished product that will bolt up.

I have ordered one before 5 years ago. It works and I had no issues.

There are also better brands other than eagle that offer the same long rod.
