What are the pro's con's cost's and changes I need to make to stock of getting a B18C bored to 2L?
You can't simply get it bored to 2ltr, not enough meat in the walls. To do it properly and safely you will need a stroker kit.
*edit*
Have a look here:

:thumbsup:
yes as dlooi said you need stroker kit.
jun auto parts makes a kit for the b series engine. costs about 5 grand if i can remeber~
whats wrong with b18cr in stock form?????????
if u want more NA power, build it.......
higher comp pistons and bigger cams...........rods and all the rest of it
You should be able to push a heap of power out of it without the stroker kit.
ITB's/ECU/exhaust/porting not enough?
i forgot what i feels like to drive a nicely tuned NA b series. good times
I read on team integra that boring (and obv sleeving) was preferred and less expensive than stroking.
'Barge Ass' have you ever seen the inside of a B series bore? its floating so when DLO01 said theres not enough meat in the walls he means exactly that. google some pics of a floating bore and you will see what he means.
Please excuse my naivety. I have a Mugen Intake, ATS FD and an exedy clutch/fly and after I/H/E want to build it up a little and just don't know whether increasing displacement is a good option. I love the torquey feel. If I want to go with cams and a mild build later is it wise to leave the tune for after?
yes, no-one posting above realises you are obviously talking about re-sleeving.Quote:

you *could* even stroke it to 89mm ore even crazier 95mm prelude crank!!!
but stock B18CR crank is excellent to work from.
no. get the ECU now, tune whatever you have.Quote:

Yeh, you did not mention anything about sleaving.
Sorry Deano forgive my noobness.
maybe re-read post #8Quote:

Have you any idea on how much sleaving cost's? I know its one of your questions but its quite pricey. You've mentioned above a "mild build". As said there are other things you can do. Your stock sleaves are fine for just about anything NA. You'll only need sleaves on a hard core setup.Quote:

B18CR + I/H/E + Toda B's + ecu tuning = fun fun fun...
