I know this topic has been covered many times but for what I am looking for I can't find exactly the answer I am looking for so bare with me. I am looking to buildup my b16 block. I want to know whats the best way to get the most of it, parts...etc. I want to get it sleeved but not sure how many mm. I hear that getting a different crank for more stroke will get me more torque. What do you recommend, with the piston/rods combo (9:1 or 10:1). I want to try to get to 500+. I will want to get skunk2 pro 1 cams and p&p and upgraded valve train. Any information would help.

are you dead set on sticking with a b16? if you are going to put that much money into building and sleeving a block it would be a much better choice to start with a b18 block and crank. on most builds we choose to start with an 83mm bore and go with a 9:1 cp piston.

 

I would like to keep the b16. I know you will get more power out of the b18.
