b20 vs b18c stroker kit

[SLOBRO]

should be ok just till i build the b18 block i have that will be sleeved and forged

[GSi_PSi]

ive gone 85mm on mine haha with the stock sleeves
doesn't look that bad

i raise you with this

see how my cylinder walls are all even and thick?
and yours is dangerously thin at the top

which is why it has survived 50,000kms, over 9000 ! rpm

, 10,000kms of that being with no tune.

Can you imagine the heat at that thinnest point

Can you imagine the heat at that thinnest point

yeah, especially considering there's no contact with the coolant there

Im leaning towards a b20 now, thanks for the input guys. Its cheaper, and i wont be keeping the car for any longer then 30000KM's and Ill hardly hit over 8500Rpms these days.

Final questions:

Is a re balance of a b20 setup really necessary? Or could i get away with it? (home job)

Is the girdle worth while? Or could i get away with it?

Ill be getting a re-tune before i hit vtec.

I'm no expert on thermal dynamics, but I would think the heat would dissipate quickly.

can an expert please comment.

I am an expert, and the heat would dissipate real quicksmart no worries.

Thank you CivicEGSI i'll make sure i have a very good cooling setup lol

[SLOBRO]

another good thing by stroking your b18 block you will save money on getting it engineered so a little less headache lol
