Default Going all-motor in 98 EX coupe...b16 bored out to 2.0?

I was wondering if this would be more reliable than a CRVTEC setup, and if it could handle hi-rpm revs daily? Because i have heard that the b16 block has oil squirters to lube everything nicely at high-rpms.

My current engine is a b16a2, where would i need to get it bored and sleeved?

thanks,
mike

p.s. what pistons would be best?

If I'm not mistaken boring out a b16 to 2.0 would leave you with next to no cylinder wall...the gsr motor has oil squirters also and would be alot easier to bore to a 2.0 plus it wouldn't mind the high rpm's (from what I know the crvtec is asking for trouble if you rev it high on stock internals)

i know it would be easier to bore a GSR, but thats not what im asking, i know revving a CRVTEC high is asking for trouble...

but thanks for the info

correct me if im wrong, but i think it would be kinda hard to bore out a b16 to a 2.0
the b16 stroke is not long enough
