I have a chance to build my 00SI B16 with a good amount of stuff.... Do I go 84mm from GE sleeves or sleeve to 81.5 and then stroke with 1.8 crank?? Or do both 84mm plus 1.8 crank=2.0liter but will I still have a good enough rod to stroke ratio? This will most likely be with mack daddy parts so no half *** cheap parts going in..need advice from experienced builders and drivers,peace!

 

Generally the the shorter stroke will be more reliable under high boost, but if you dont plan on running 30psi I would bore & stroke it for the extra torque the B16 lacks.

If you plans on a high boost & high RPM setup I would stay with stock bore & stroke and just use boost to make up for the lower displacement.

I went with slightly longer stroke of B17 block and over-bored to 84mm. I think this is a pretty good compromise.

 

all so we have one for 84mm and 1.7 crank...anyone else have any good experience?? tuend with hondata by the way if anyone cares
