Opinions - B18CR Bottom End with Alaniz head

[ewendc2r]

I think you are concentrating too much on RPM's. (Ruin peoples motors) Ill rather work on the midrange then peak power overall

Going to a bigger displacement (b20) will be the more efficient way of doing things but if you know better with the 1.8 then its your choice

Listen to the guys that have done it already. Dont be stubborn, listen and learn from what have been said on both ozhonda and clubitr

*sigh* -- So you don't think its worthwhile doing unless I go ahead with a rebuild as well? i.e. Should I just keep it stock as a rock internally until I am ready to do a full build? Please see next post..

I would imagine stock CR / Bottom End and Toda B should be good for 135kw with stock head. I don't think an extra 5kw's is asking much with a ported head. I think that most people with 140kw or higher have already gone through an engine rebuild, not saying that the bottom end can't support that power in the first place?
