Default B20/Vtec project using B18c5 crank?

Hello I have been researching about this setup.

So far I have this list to set it up

B18c5 head
Jun stage 3 cams
Jun ti springs and retainers
b20b block
JE pistons
Eagle Rods
Toda Cam puleys

Now I have some questions... Will I loose cc using the b18c5 from 2.0l to 1.9l?
If so using pistons of 86 insted of the 84.5 ( stock ) will alow me to get back to the 2.0cc, but will this make the sleeves to thin to be reliable?

Other thing if I use the b18c5 crank will I have to use the b20 rods or the b18c5 rods? ( same goal as above 2.0l )

I plan on reving till 9200, and use a compression of 12. I am going to use block posting since from what I know it makes safer blocks then blockguard.

What you guys think of this project? I want some strong NA reliable engine otherwise I would go for a turbo setup.. NA to me = reliability.. leave your thoughts here please.

crank = same rods, you cannot interchange them..

Wow that kit looks awesome, the price doesnt look that awesome though LoL. I think JE pistons will be less then that, and I heard they are veryy good pistons.

Thanks for your extremely good answer mate, and yes no blockguard here just blockposting.

Ey your project is quite near mine from what I can see. I went with OEM parts cuz I like Hondas OEM relliability and I know I can make some serious power with stock parts for much less then aftermarket parts really.

Thanks alot for your heads up, and ehh hopefully I'll have an SMSP header, only thing thats holds me back is that Im in portugal, arrggg that sucks.
