should i go with a bored out resleeved gsr at 84.5mm or do an b20 vtec? what are differences...deck hieght? i have an 99 gsr right now but. i'm goimg all motor w/ high compression hopefully 12.5 ratio. has anyone done gsr bored out? what setup? big gains?

 

If you've already got the GSR motor just resleeve it, won't need to tap the block, it'll be cheaper and more reliable too.

 

 

def bore and sleeve the gsr.
check out http://www.importreview.com, go to 1.8 dynos, and check the 5th one down where it puts out 216.5whp. thats a bored/resleeved gsr. sick.

 

Agreed

On average, how much does boring and resleeving cost?

your not taping the block, you have to tap the head and its cake, you dont even have to widen the dowel holes anymore, they make steped dowel pins. but yes i would keep the stock gsr and sleeve it if you already have it.

your link doesnt work for me.........

 

having done the B20, I'd go with the GSR block sleeved if you have it already. Also, you can go 84mm, no need to go bigger than that.

 

how much did it cost you to sleeve the b20?

 

Of course you could always spend $2k and get a brand new dart block...

i dont think those blocks are even worth the amount of money their selling them for, so much more power can be made out of such less for such less.but then again if youve got the money i guess go for it. get the dart block

 

spoon i think sells crate type r motors, fully built for like 6g's thats also another possibility. but it just sounds stupid to me

 

Trying to get torque out of a honda is like a 27 yr old screwing a 18 yr old. Its not illegal, but it should be. Honda's have there power in high end, bottom line. Trying to convert a B20 to a high reving monster is just asking for mechanical trouble.

 

I too would go with Golden Eagle sleeves in your GSR, but no more than 84mm... this gives you room for future mishaps/rebuilds.
Also going with the GSR, you will have a much better bottom end thats way better for high rpms VS the B20 bottem end... the GSR has a girdle that really strengthens it allowing it to go much higher!
Also, the GSR has the piston crown oil squirters that will help cool the piston and keep detonation away especially with the higher compression.

I can pretty much beat anybody's deal on GE sleeves, PM me for details.
