why not do a better than b16b build ?

you can keep your stock rod and crank, change the pistons to slightly higher compression and do valve train. ( as you said skunk2 stage 2s work nicely )

so some heard porting if its in the budget.

nah a b16b is way over budget.
that why i was thinking of trying to match a b16a2 to a b16b

without spending 4 k on an engine

The B16B short block is a P72, the same as a gsr, and integra type r as well. It would be stupid to find the destroked b16b crank when even the 1.8L gsr crank would make more power

So you want to continue use a B16A block? If so, your bottom end won't to use a ctr crank or rods. You can use the pistons, but they aren't that great. The dome is so high on them, there is often unburned mixture and deposits an the two outer lower sections of the piston heads being they are so far away from the spark.
The last two genuine B16B engines i has had major carbon deposits on the pistons, i was not impressed.

Don't bother with the rods, but better valve springs would be a good idea.

You should only be revving to 9k if you're making power that high. Check out the All motor forum and look up the B16 builds in there. A lot of guys like the Buddy Club spec 3 cams.

just build the bottom end with aftermarket parts and your bottom end will be better than a b16b. this post is pointless anyways. just do research and do what you want to do. and by the way the height of the b16a and b16b blocks are different, making it impossible to use all the ctr internals in a b16a bottom end.

With that you'd know this doesn't work like you think, it's not a good idea nor is the bang for buck remotely there.

I'm so jealous of someone who knows less and will have a slower car then me. Not to mention if only I could be so insecure I'd build a car just to spite someone online.

Kids like you are more a cancer to honda's then rear fender rust.

Also learn to type ima is not English, most of us grown ups use English on this site, but coming from someone with a myspace link in their sig, well I don't even need to say it.
