They were already on the car when I bought it. So, pricing wise, I don't know. Rough guess....$1k. Maybe..

This car is also my daily driver with about 2-4 track days a year.

Which one do we all think would last longer? I have read that B20's like to self destruct, but I've read it also comes down to the tune.

If you had a choice between the two, which one would you choose?

LOL. Your getting scammed and taken for a ride.

Nothing special about your b20 bottom end. Mostly standard bits. Really its not "built" just refreshed with stronger rod bolts.

Yep. I know it's not a built b20, and yes I know it's pretty much standard but a little stronger. It's only running a low 9.8:1 comp ratio. But if I can get it engineered, I'm going to strengthen the bottom end and raise comp to 11.5-12.0:1.

Even though it's a pretty stock bottom end, I'm extremely happy with it. With higher comp, it'll be even better! =)

so you want to drop a b18 back into your car have you thought of using the crank and rods from b20 to drop into the b18 block you got so its a lsvtec so you can still get it engineered pretty easy still

Stock sleeves can only handle so much. Bad tune/bad batch of fuel/ blocked injector and etc can lead to a quick destruction.

Just file off the stock b20 number and hammer in your stock engines... throw your stock block into the sea. Problem solved

you can order 2000cc stroker kits from companies which are good value for your 1.8
just do a search many japanese and american companies make off teh shelf kits
be a easy swap over as you have all the parts already
