we ive been reading about and researching about the doing a b20 block onto my B18c7 head.. but i was thinking what is the difference between changing the block or stroking it....
I just dont hear many ppl doing the stroked block...
SO what are the pro's n cons doing either way.
better off with a b20 block, stroking out ur block could make it weaker and wouldnt it cost more? n with the b20 u could sell ur b18c7 block n save some $$
Stroking can initially cost a lot more but so could a b20. Depends who you go to and what not.
Imo id want to do a b18c type r stroker :) one in a kind!
You would need a 95mm crank to "stroke" a B18c to 2L which would result in a rather poor rod/stroke ratio, IMO B20VTEC is the better and cheaper option
84X89mm B20B Is the way to go
Stroking out a B18C7 is too much money
Agreed, the rod ratio is worse,Quote:

It's not such a bad thing & if you hunt around, it can be done with modified factory parts except for the pistons.
& these are readily available too.
It can be expensive compared to say a mild B20B Vtec build,
But if you already have the B18C & aren't forking out for a core engine & head, it is still a viable option.
