There are no kits that I'm aware of, but you could do your own. The D17 crank from the 2001-2005 Civic will fit the block, and with custom rods and pistons, you could up the stroke from 90mm to 94.4mm. Then if you went with a sleeved block, you could up the bore from 75mm to 78mm. That would get you a 1.8L D series.

If you wanted to rev it at all (above 7,500 rpm), you'd need to get a deckplate to improve the rod/stroke ratio. The math I did a while back led to approx. 1" deck plate to put the R/S at about 1.7:1.

 

A stroked D-series is the worst idea I've ever heard of.

Would you care to explain your position on this?

Worse r/s ratio, increased cylinder walk, lower redline... Not to mention a stroker kit costs about 5x as much as a d-series motor.

Why would anyone want a lower redline on a d-series? They already struggle to make power up to 8k.

 

I figured it was more work than it's worth, might as well just do a complete swap. But it would be cool for me cause I would like to make the most power out of the D16 that I already have. The power is good in upper r's cause of the turbo, the low end is what I was worried about. Thanks guys.....
