id probably take it to toda and use the toda kit (syd), or even take it somewhere similar in melb, if i get some feedback on some good places because melb would be much easier..
so b18cr would still be the better option even after the b16a is stroked in your opinion??
if you stop changing the criteria of comparison...Quote:

and offer less performance.
Stroker kits cost a lot.
I'd got for the b18c.
A b20vtec is still a low compression low reving engine. Good torque though.
Tinkers, why do we bother....................Quote:

i read in the other post that u had it strengthened and it was all done by dyno dave? i think
go with the B18CR
good power stock, dont have to worry about stroking or strengthening it and changing heads......its fine on the DC2R's it will be more than sufficient on a CIVIC!!
true.. im also reading that stroker kits are a big waste of money on HT.. they reckon just stick with the b18c also, the ls/vtec seems very common there also..
b18c prob my best option ive decided..
You read wrong...maybeQuote:

BUT Dyno Dave did tune it, which is the best strengthening you can do......
he's just trolling mate...Quote:

it is a shame i threw a rod end at the track on tuesday, going to have to replace my bottom end with a B20B8 block i think...
he wants it as a daily driven reliable car. for his purpose the b18c is sufficient...
im not saying the B20B bottom end isnt but for his case the b18c will be nice n easy (i.e no need to strengthen etc)
*giggle*
