she's not as fast as i'd like, so can this work, or should i build over? Advantages over a b20/vtec?

 

I was planning on doing the same to mine last year with 110k on it. I talked to a rep at JR and they said as long as you do a compression test, and aleakdown test and they both come back fine.....
Also do the maintenance needed before you install it...ie: timing belt, water pump, tune up...

 

did you go with it? What were your comp. #'s?

 

Not crazy at all. As long as the motor is healthy you shouldn't have a problem. Mine has 95k on it and I'm putting a turbo on this weekend. My compression is at around 210 for all 4..I'm not worried.

Advantages over B20/VTEC? More power for one. If you just want a fresh 2 liter motor, have your GSR block sleeved to 2l. Depending on the seriousness of the buildup, you would come out cheaper this way too.

 

would i see a decent power gain with the new sleeves, and some good pistons? Could i use the crv crank in the b18c1 block?

thanks for all the great info!

 

as long as its in good shape youll have no problem. i just tested my b18b with 112k and it has 210psi in all 4 cyl's so I am good to go
