I have decided to build a jdm b18c short block. So far these are the parts I have and also this is what I intend to do with it.

Specs;
JDM B18c short block
Balanced and blueprinted by Bisimoto
RS machine 84mm ITR pistons
Eagle H or I beam rods (not sure which is better)
ARP everything

I'm not really looking for a big HP from the bottom, torque is what I'm after. Bisimoto's bottom end package just requires me to bring my pistons and rods. But I see a lot people with different crank with a build like this. I am also looking to bar this motor when I am finished that's why I chose those pistons.

The question is since I'm making the bore size bigger I know it will bump up the displacment. But do I need to change the crank or will I be fine with the gsr crank? And which rods are better for a high revving all motor build? (H or I). If I left anything out please ask and I will answer.
Thanks in advance and people save all the negative comments to yourself.

 

stock crank eagle h beam rods will be fine

 

stock gsr crank is fine,or you can use a ls crank and rods for a little more displacement

 

Ok coo. But while I have you attention. I want to bar it also. Do you think the compression will be to high? I am going to be mating it with a 99 b16 head. It will be bar'd as a 97 spec type r. That's why I'm using a b18c bottom. Becuz there's no way in telling its a gsr or type r. If you hav any info help me out thanks.

 

Would the stock sleeves hold on well with that 84mm bore?

 

I don't think they will. But with the bottom end package from bisi golden eagle re-sleeves the block. I'm gonna get 84mm.

 

Any more suggestions????????

 

Yes. Ask Bisi.

 

lol i have been talking to him. i just want to see what some people on HT think. plus dont come with no negative stuff. keep it to yourself. READ!!!!

 

honestly, it would be best to stick with bisi and only bisi. you cant refuse advice from a guy that made a single (F) run 9's.

 

You right. Thanks. Welli ask you guys this one last question. Do you think its a waste of money to be spending all this money on sleeves and not spending that much money on pistons? I don't think it is but someone told me what's the point of using cheap parts with good parts. Thanks in advance
