i would join this groupbuy if i had a b20 block, but i dont

 

You don't need a B20 block

 

you can have your LS resleeved to 84 or even 85 mm, which makes it exactly the same as a B20 block but stronger I had my GSR block sleeved to 84.5mm by them, it came out purty

 

i know, but thats the blocked i'd want sleeved to 84.5

 

Ben, On the Endyn board Vince said the group buy was over. So Im assuming its on again?

What is the max you can bore out a B16? Is it possible to bore it out to 85mm.
Thanks in advance

yes, you can safely bore a f/i B16a block to 85mm.

 

An individual involved in the group buy was ripped off when buying a block, so a couple slots opened up.

Thanks
Ben

 

if you can bore your 1.8 block to 2.0 safely, what can you bore your 2.0 block out to? or is that just unsafe?

 

the b18a/b and b20 blocks are exaectley the same, the only difference is the bore on the b20 is 84mm, and the b18 is 81mm. For a boost application, the largest I have heard is safe is 84.5mm. Endyn makes a piston this is perfectect for that setup.

 

Would a b17a block be safe to bore to 84.5mm when getting resleeved by g.e.? Any advice on pistons or rods to get when boring the b17 to 84.5 - this is for forced induction.

 

I was just about to hit you with an email. Yes, you can bore to a 84.5 mm safely. I would suggest the Eagle rods and Endyn pistons, but I am checking on the Arias pistons for you.
