i just finished my b16 project and i want to make it faster but the only thing i can do is turbo or make it a 1.8. to give u guys an idea the block is sleeved, arias pistons and eagle connecting rods. comp is 11:5:1. new bearings water pump and type r oil pump. head is ported and polished with a match port type r manifold and match port throttle body. jun stage 3 cams and jun valvetrain and the list goes on. so wut do u guys think i should do. turbo or bore it to a 1.8?

Turbo?? why would you think of putting a turbo on something with 11.5:1 c/r?
You should have went with 84mm or higher sleeves if you wanted more displacement.

I think you should drive it the way it is. Setup sounds like a good all motor street setup. Actually almost the exact setup i have right now minus mine is a ls/vtec with all same head work you have.

 

ITB's. Will cost as much as a turbo kit.

 

84mm + ITBs = all motor madness

Definitely bore the sleeves out to 84mm and maybe even go with a higher compression piston to let those cams breathe more.

 

whats itb?

 

^^ indivdual throttle bodies.

Just Get a stroker kit and bore out the engine to 85mm with a Darton sleeve kit. We did that on a B18C5, it now displaces 2.2L, but looks stock form the outside.

 

ITB = Individual Throttle Bodies

no no son, that IDB. 84mm? i would go 86mm

 

lol @ no no son

 

yeah with 11:5:1 c/r def. go with more motor and get some itbs

 

you're at a cross roads now:

personally id consider going b20 at where you are, why you ask?

you can sell that sleeved 1.6 block with pistons complete for more $$, since youd have to buy bigger bore pistons if you stoke the motor you have.

b20b with high comp 84mm pistons, like JE

ITB's need to be tuned really well, and they dont exactly get good gas milage, and they are quite loud. on a daily driver i dont know how good of an idea that might be, since you have the opion of going larger displacement first...

but they rock hardcore, sound SICK no denying it, also pretty damn expensive last time i priced out a few different sets.

 

does anyone know if u can make ls block into a 2.0. just curious

 

only if you sleeve it or stroke it.e on b18 same as b16a just diffrent stroke

 

i think u need to post pics, i would like to c ur set up nit just hear about it
and yes u can make b18 into 2.0
