Im looking at resleeving my motor with 84mm sleeves.
What kind of diplacement am I looking at? will it reach 1.8L or will it just be shy of it? and will this really screw up the r/s of the b16?
Im thinking of darton's and I have a local shop that is really good(knock on wood).
any other tips, hints and or info is welcome

You should be at 1.7 liter i believe with 84mm sleeves. If you are looking into sleeving, golden eagle stuff is very nice. I have a 2.0 gsr block with golden eagle sleeves, and the quality is top notch. You cant beat the price as well compared to darton sleeves. As far as the r/s ratio is concerned, it should have minimal effect.

Piston diameter does not effect r/s ratio.

You could try a piston with a raised piston pin location if you want a slightly better than stock r/s ratio, but you would also need custom long rods. Probably not worth it.

here i thought when he said r/s he meant resale value of the car..


so then what does R/S stand for

turbohonda

rod to stroke ratio. It is determined by the stroke and the rod length.

If you have a first gen B16 your R/S is like 1.74:1. You can't get too much better than that.

how and why is the second gen diff?
****..reading all this ge vs darton stuff is crazy.there is a local shop that will do an awesome job (for dartons) and im sure of it but ge is good too...(well some of the probs lately worried me)..man...

the set of 84mm pistons i just got from je list the displacement as 1.71. you could order them to be used with an ls crank and then you will get close to a 2.0 liter.
