B16 stroker kit

**SiR JDM** · 27-10-2004 01:10 AM

I was just thinking future for the future, boring out my SIR eg6 b16a to a 18?
It this an expensive/worthwhile thing to do? The extra torque would be useful... wat advantages / disadvantes ?
Will torque increase? If so, to as much as a standard b18c1/2? (vti-r)
Will I still have my agressive cams? And all the other b16a advantages ?

To put it simply (although this isn't all I would like to know), will it like a b16a with b18 torque and power... ie.. an improved b18c?

Also where do you get it done (buy these stroker kits) and how much do they cost?

I did a lil search but didn't find much specifics. I read a post by someone saying a b16a + stroker kit is esentially a b18cR? Is this true?

better eng up getting a B18C block and fit it on...and change those cams as well..or might as well change the whole thing...hehe...

changing the Crank is a good thing...but i think using a B18C type R block is much better, save you some money...and headache...if you wanna tare out your engine...getting those crank...assuming the price is around 400 AUD for crank, how bout conrods, another 2-400aud? piston? 400 AUD again...workmanship ?...may b 6-1000AUD...around 2000AUD at least if you wanna do that, but if you change a B18C block, ehh, may b just abit more money...then you will b quite happy bout the performance...thats what i think...haha..i think better consult my GURU, Mr Portstar...hahahha

1.6 - lack of torque
1.8 - Not bad on the track
2.0 - Drag machine!
depends where you wan your car to be at...
or just get a JUN engine...hehehe...18k - 24k AUD...hehhee...

well a b18cR block alone would be VERY hard to find and very expensive..
but id love one... but since i hear stroking the b16a to a b18 would give me b18cR performance (or close to it)..

1.6 - lack of torque, that is true.... hence why i plan to stroke in the future
2.0 - if i wanted to drag id spend the money on a turbo kit and boost it... but i like my "perfectly balanced car" (waiting for andy to kill me :P )

18-24k? Mate I dont know what type of money your playing with but were in dif leagues by a long shot hahah, i feel like im loosing money just reading that shit

Very under-rated mod...
Subtle with equal grunt potential to B18.

Wouldn't the B18C have a better rod/stroke ratio than a stroked B16A?

**SiR JDM** · 27-10-2004 11:14 AM

Pricing? Anyother details?

**pgclee** · 27-10-2004 04:41 PM

you won't regret it if you go for B18cR....you'll be surprise what kinda power and corner speed and straight line it will do...haha...

and the price pgclee
he didnt ask advice for engine swaps, he asked about stroker kits!

oh and u right james this should not be in forced induction (turbs/supercharge)
