B18 with B16 head OR B20B??

[ProECU]

You could always stroke a b18c to 2L

How exactly would one "stroke" a b18C to 2L?

hmmm, lets see, some custom rods, a billet crank and a farkin aweful rod/stroke ratio?

a good way to waste A LOT of good money

wrong place to ask this but can u also turbo the b18c after stroking it to 2.0L?

[LowEk]

nah sorry 2MPRSS not my goal out of this engine and i would not stroke a engine ill do it the easy way and use a B20 block stroking is a waste of time and money ill take the easy way thanks.

I was sarcastic & was expecting someone to say increase bore diameter

[tinkerbell]

I was sarcastic

no shit evan!

but still people believe the sarcasim, so why not perpetuate it - this is only ozhonda afterall, where, if you are lucky, 1 in 3 posts *might* actually be technically correct

you shouldnt stroke a B18C to 2.0L, but if you did, you certainly could turbo it.

Yep, very true!

Infact, turbo loves a MASSIVE stroke

[ek004]

so what you guys are saying is that its not a good idea to start with a b18c,
and raise the displacement to 2L?

or do you mean its not a good idea to only stroke it to 2L?

please elaborate thanks

how can you stroke a b18c to 2 litres???????????????????????????????????????????? ?

do any of you know what it means to 'stroke' a engine????????

[Non Vtec]

I stroke my engine every night before I go to sleep.. lol
I would have thought you could use a B20 crank in a B18 and just changed rods, but I guess not..
Honestly when you spend all your money on a B18 or B20 you would have been better off going to a K-series conversion and selling your stock motor..

[tinkerbell]

a B20 what mate? not a B20B, it is the same as a B18B crank, so in a B18C engine you would get a 1.8 litre

if you put a B20A prelude crank in you can get to 1958cc, but with a 95mm stroke, your rpm limit would be about 7000rpm and sideloading would be massive, increasing the risk of you putting a piston through the block or toasting a rod...

a better way to get more displacement is BORING...

hence why the B20B retains the same stroke as the B18B but has a bigger bore (84mm vs 81mm)

now if you REALLY want displacement, you can use a B20A crank in a B20B block and get a 2.1 litre engine
