Frankenstein, stroked b16a or JDM ITR b18c?

If anyone has any doubts about tinkerbell or his knowledge, then just look at the two green square boxes his got under his details. That's a sign of a man knowing his stuff!!

Did you mention which of the 4 possible engines your EG has? I imagine you have the D15B? I guess you don't have the b16a1, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it as a transplant option.

I'd immediately rule the b16a out as you can get a b18c half cut for the same price and save 4-5k from the stroke/bore you'd do to achieve the same displacement. If you already have a b16a1, I wouldn't worry about an engine transplant nor stroking it. At the cost of 200cc, you've got a lot of headroom for high rpm, so I'd spend that 5k doing some crazy headwork so you CAN rev it hard. Again, if you don't have the b16, just go a stock b18cR and it'd fulfill all your requirements methinks.

Wow, this thread is old!
After alot of research ive decided to go a completely different route.

I think this is a great and very debatable topic though :D

i guess this never happened?

nup, I apologise :(

if you wanna know - you have to ask me... or work it out for yourself and then ask me about which bits you find troublesome...

i prefer the second way, as it is quicker and less painful...

Can you just do a write up or something?
DIY section ;)

why would my write up be better than the ones that already exist?

as advised:

so start here - parts list:

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/lsvtec/parts.php

basic "frankenstein" proceedure:

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/lsvtec/lsvtec.php

advanced B20 aspects:

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/b20vtec/b20vtec.php

a great hondatech write up:

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1676914

and maybe have a look here:

http://www.b20vtec.com/


if you still cant work out the parts required, the various problems involved and the level of care required to build a reliable engine, a website done by ME is not going to help you ...

Well you said you were going to create a website, and still say that you have information to give via pm. So i was just suggesting to get the information out there.
But now you say it is already out there and can be accessed from other sources.

It is always good to have multiple sources of information.. too much is better than too little.
