what block would be better for a turbo build?
What block would be better for a turbo motor? I have a b16 block now and I have 84.5mm pistons for a b20 block. I wanna know which one would be more reliable to build. I'm going to send it off to have the CSS (cylinder support system) put in it. So would it matter really which block I went with?? Thanks

css.. interesting.
well the pistons won't work in the b16 block unless you sleeve it.
b20 block's are known for poor casting and the metal of the factory sleeves will accentuate any tendency to knock.
probably get better responses in the forced induction section.

Neither IMO. I'd choose to do the b16 with the correct size pistons if you insist on using one of those two... but you can pick up an LS block/crank for cheap, or a GSR for not much more.

OK thanks. I'll see if I can get someone around here where I am to see if they have new CP pistons that are 81mm and that will triad for mine. I think that would be a fair deal. Wouldn't you think?
