I have a b16a2 that has been sleeved and bored to 84mm. I am using a b17a crankshaft to up the displacement (oem stroker ) and I have some b16 eagle rods sitting around.
I am not sure if I should use the b16 Eagle rods (which are 2cm longer) and use b20b aftermarket pistons


Any input? Or should I just get some b17 rods and pistons?

Plan to turbocharge.

i read a while back that you MUST use pistons and rods for the B17 crank, so i would look into who has those in forced induction models

 

bump anyone else?

 

You have two choices, one is to get B17A length rods which actually should be 4mm shorter than B16A rods, Crower makes them in the Billet style adn then Pauter will make custom rods If I am not mistaken for the same price as their shelf stock rods. Second choice would be to keep yoru B16A rods and order some custom pistons with the wrist pin moved up 4mm. I believe the B17A rod length would be a better choice though BUT you can do either one. Custom pistons will be about $150-$200 more than a shelf stock piston. Good luck on your project. I looked for a B17A crank forever for my old B16A set up, stock B16A stroke still can make power 676whp and 402 ft-lb torque

 

thanks that is was I was looking for.

looks like b17 rods here I come
