Just looking for opinions here. Ive searched a lot and see people say stock sleeves and internals can handle X amount of power etc etc on a good tune. I really want to have a 2.0 gsr but I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have it sleeved if I plan to boost ever, or even if I didn't? At that bore are the cylinder walls so thin that they almost have to be resleeved, or would they still be able to handle a nice amount of power? This may seem like a dumb question but I'm not overly familiar with honda bores and short blocks.

Haha, you and your god damn H2B. I already have the head. Just need the block. Someones offering me a great deal for a block with a cracked sleeve and I'm pretty set on stay B series. Thanks for the advice but as I always say in everyones else thread, I didn't ask what you would do with x amount of money, so answer the damn question! You're lucky you're usually helpful Ek.

 

LOL, since you've already got the head, I would just bore the gsr then.

I was presuming you hadn't purchased anything yet.

Bore the b18

I'm not too familiar with boring/stroking, but I know you can bore to 2.0L size, but to achieve 2.0L displacement you'll have to change the crank.

 

LMAO THAT **** IS FUNNY... i can be having the worst day in the world and get on honda tech and you guys put the biggest effin smile on my face.. haha

 

Wow, totally helpful. If you have nothing constructive to say, why say anything at all?

 

dude what the hell.. everyone in here is suppose to be somewhat nice to ppl and its jerks like you that ruin it for everyone.. i come home from a hard day and it makes me happy to get on here and read funny stuff like that and im sure that most everyone else in here has no problem with me sayin so.

Wtf? Haha, get a life bro. I'm sorry you come on H-T to laugh at people you think you know more than. Seems like a pretty meaningless existence. If you're so above the question, why not enlighten someone looking for information? Ah, cuz youre a dick who needs a little self esteem boost by tryin to act smarter than someone in an online car forum. You don't see how pathetic that is? Like I said, if you have nothing HELPFUL or CONSTRUCTIVE to say, why say anything at all?

On a side note thanks to the someone who actually DID help me through pm. So now I know I must sleeve to go 2L.

Your welcome, If i find any sleeving info i'll post it here for more archives sake.

here's one, it looks like you can buy a stroker kit. And I would presume with an upgraded valvetrain you're stock stroke will be fine with the new bore.

And 84mm looks like the goal for a street car. You'll maintain a more round bore and maintain the crucial sleeve strength. You WILL need upgraded sleeves though.

LS crank would be a good idea as it's the 2.0L crank in the b20 (A stroked b18b)

Having a minimum 84-84.5mm bore will also help ring and headgasket seal.
