B16 stroker kit
I was just thinking future for the future, boring out my SIR eg6 b16a to a 18?
It this an expensive/worthwhile thing to do? The extra torque would be useful... wat advantages / disadvantes ?
Will torque increase? If so, to as much as a standard b18c1/2? (vti-r)
Will I still have my agressive cams? And all the other b16a advantages ?
To put it simply (although this isn't all I would like to know), will it like a b16a with b18 torque and power... ie.. an improved b18c?
Also where do you get it done (buy these stroker kits) and how much do they cost?
I did a lil search but didn't find much specifics. I read a post by someone saying a b16a + stroker kit is esentially a b18cR? Is this true?

better eng up getting a B18C block and fit it on...and change those cams as well..or might as well change the whole thing...hehe...
changing the Crank is a good thing...but i think using a B18C type R block is much better, save you some money...and headache...if you wanna tare out your engine...getting those crank...assuming the price is around 400 AUD for crank, how bout conrods, another 2-400aud? piston? 400 AUD again...workmanship ?...may b 6-1000AUD...around 2000AUD at least if you wanna do that, but if you change a B18C block, ehh, may b just abit more money...then you will b quite happy bout the performance...thats what i think...haha..i think better consult my GURU, Mr Portstar...hahahha
1.6 - lack of torque
1.8 - Not bad on the track
2.0 - Drag machine!
depends where you wan your car to be at...
or just get a JUN engine...hehehe...18k - 24k AUD...hehhee...
-
well a b18cR block alone would be VERY hard to find and very expensive..
but id love one... but since i hear stroking the b16a to a b18 would give me b18cR performance (or close to it)..
1.6 - lack of torque, that is true.... hence why i plan to stroke in the future
2.0 - if i wanted to drag id spend the money on a turbo kit and boost it... but i like my "perfectly balanced car" (waiting for andy to kill me :P )
18-24k? Mate I dont know what type of money your playing with but were in dif leagues by a long shot hahah, i feel like im loosing money just reading that shit

btw i realised i think i might have posted this in the wrong forum, so admins shift if u think necessary
-
Very under-rated mod...
Subtle with equal grunt potential to B18.
-
Wouldn't the B18C have a better rod/stroke ratio than a stroked B16A?
-
Pricing? Anyother details?
-
you won't regret it if you go for B18cR....you'll be surprise what kinda power and corner speed and straight line it will do...haha...
-
and the price pgclee
he didnt ask advice for engine swaps, he asked about stroker kits!
oh and u right james this should not be in forced induction (turbs/supercharge)
-
yea i relaised that afterwards.. i was reading F/I threads n decided to post.. forgot i was in this thread .. but yea... ne one else know anymore?
-
i was saying if he wanna stroke, might as well change to B18cR...
-
i think what pcglee wants to say is that he should get a b18c and strok,e that to 2l :P
