Hey.. Im building my b20 vtec with the following setup..

b20b block
b16a2 ported head
je 12:5 pistons
jun type 3 camshafts
skunk 2 cam gears
eagle rods and bearings
70 mm throttle body
ported intake manifold
supertech valvetrain (valves, retainers, springs)
blueprinted and balanced crank
act extreme clutch and p-plate

How beneficial do you think it would be to sleeve and bore out to 85mm or 86mm. What are some of the pros and cons and the benefits in the hp-torque-reliability area. I was also wondering if I went 85mm would i need sleeves or could i use stock. Get back to me.. thanks

 

Resleeve for big bore. How are you affording this at 17?

lol you should see my setup and car and im only 18 :/

 

your sort of running the same setup as me. b20v b16 head i'm running je 12.5:1 piston w/ crower valve train, crower stage3 cams, port/poished head eagle rods. 68mm throttle body act clutch+ flywheel. I kept mine at 84mm without sleeving. I know i should of had it done...i'm just going to keep my revs low. If your going to go bigger then 84mm resleeve it definately. I'm taking the risk on my sleeves since they are stock. b20 sleeves are the same as ls sleeves but have a 84mm bore so they are thinner.

 

thanks.. and i took out a loan and have a decent job to pay it back relatively fast.. and of course theres always the family to back me up if i get in a jam.. but does any one know where i can get sleeves for a decent price ive been lookin round and there isnt much out there for darton or ge.. thanks

 

Jim Justice Racing in MD does sleeves. Check him out.
