So an opportunity has come to me in the shape of a b18c1 with a Brian crower stroker kit bored out to 2.16L running 8.6-1 compression with type r cams and a itr tranny. Is this a good engine to make some good power on boost? Or do I continue on with my b16?

 

Compression ratio is a bit low but it would work. It would also produce a healthy amount of torque at the same power output compared to your B16. If the price is right go for it.

 

8.6:1?

 

Frank runs 8:8 on his canyon carver....or should I say canyon death bringer lol

Honestly if it's a good deal I would say go for it, that's what itr tranny is for

Yes I realize he could use higher comp...12:1 on vtecvillian's stock sleeves b20 :p (450 whp)

 

8:8, you say?

 

Prob more like ∞:∞

 

lol my bad I meant 8:6* just like the op is getting :p
