B18C 2.2L Stroker Build Questions!
Good luck, sounds like you have a decent plan, and it'll be a beast.
That said, I hope you get some good information... I've seen very few monster N/A builds in the 92-00 Civic forum, and there probably won't be a ton of people here knowledgeable in that sort of thing. I know I'm not... I know just enough to think that it's a cool idea. I've seen a few 250hp N/A daily driver builds, but they were done very meticulously by people who really knew what they were doing.
If you don't get a lot of responses here, I'd recommend reposting in the All Motor forum here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/

Done that been there. B18C5 block with 84mm Darton sleeve kit bored to 85mm along with an Eagle stroker kit = 2.2L and made 246hp to the wheels!
It turned out to be an expensive project though

whats the stroke on the kit? ill give it to you like this......the S2K 2.0l has an average piston speed at 9K of 5078 ft/sec.........this is high for a stock engine(nascar is running about 5300 ft/sec) so in a less than perfect build(no offense but you are an amateur, not a pro) id say you probably want to keep your piston speed at or below 5000ft/sec.

You'd probably be better off buying an H22 and an adapter plate than building this bored/stroked engine. Or even putting a mild turbo setup together and keeping the bottom end stock would probably be better.
Over square motors aren't good for revving real high. There's more vibration with the longer the stroke you have. The rod to stroke ratio becomes worse as you shorten rods for a longer stroke. Trying to achieve 12:1 with CTR pistons is a bad idea because you can run into clearance issues and those pistons will result in poor burn characteristics. The giant dome keeps the flame front from spreading nicely.
Also, most importantly, you're going to have way over 12:1 if you stroke the motor. CTRs in a GSR motor should already be close to if not at least 12, and I'm going to bet you'd get 13:1 if not more.
