I was wondering if I bought a CTR stroker kit from Spoon, would it be the same as replacing my internals in my B18C1 with Spoon balanced parts? The reason I ask is cause I need to replace my internals...ie., crank, pistons, rings, rods, etc. This seems like a cheaper alternative to buying a B18C shortblock. Would this work?

 

Since when is buying a complete stroker kit from Spoon cheaper than buying a B18c short block?? I read a while back you can get a assembled ITR short block direct from Acura for around $1800. Much cheaper than a complete stroker kit i'm sure.

 

also dont forget the shortblock is a tad more reliable

 

So why exactly do you need to replace your crank? I agree with the others, just pick up a new shortblock.

 

The spoon stroker kit is made b16 engines but you can install the kit into your b18 motor. The price is cheaper than I thought but labor will cost quite a bit. The itr short block costs a lot more $1800. An ITR head from Acura costs around $1800 and it's missing some parts too. The spoon kit should be very reliable, it uses everything from honda minus the headgasket.

Everything "reworked" from Honda specifically to race specs. Not as reliable as straight OEM Honda parts.

 

The shortblock is around $1700 from Acura. Look it up.

 

I already have the block, but getting Spoon balanced 1.8 parts for 1180 is worth it in my opinion. My head is a JG head with JUN 3's and Crower valvetrain components. So...it's ready for high revs. Thanks for the advice guys

 

The spoon parts are just balanced, nothing more. Where can I find info on Acura OEM prices? JDM ITR long blocks NEW cost $9,000 retail. If you are really commited on purchasing the spoon stroker kit IM me I can get it for through inlinefour.com.
