Default boring?

i was wondering if boring out my block which is a b18c1 to a 2.0L is worth all the dolla's? im build my block n head up this winter and need to know if i get that done will it be to my advantage to speed it.. and what sleeves are people running that do it. any shops on here have a privefor something like that.

You'll have trouble just boring the cylinders out to get that much displacement. Look into a longer stroke crank.

It's worth it. Far too many people with the wrong bolt ons. At least with a 2 liter it's easier to hit 200 WHP with a cheap knock off header, knock off cams, a knock off intake manifold and a head ported in a buddies garage

definately worth it if you are looking to get some more torque for city driving and that last bit of power that you are looking for. def. sleeve though.

if ur gonna do it i would go with 84.5mm pistons so ull have room to bore when u need a rebuild. if u want more torque though i would reccomend getting a brian crower stroker kit. u can get a 95mm or a 92mm stroke which will inturn make u more torque than sleeving and boring but if you do both ull make some really good power. i have seen over 245whp and gobs of torque on pump gas with 84mm pistons and a 95mm stroke.
