i've got a B17 block and crank, and a JDM B16 shortblock, both just chillin in my shop, i don't know what to do with them, i don't have jack that is b-series anymore, but something keeps telling me i could make something cool, i just don't know what, anyone got any ideas?

 

I'll buy it.

 

yeah, I have a B17 head, and a B16A1 block, can I do anyhing good to it??? what if I put the b17 head on the B16A1 block?? does that gain any power??? (B17 has been ported, the head)

b16 head=b17 head=pr3 casting, same ****

 

I've always thought that the B17 would be a good motor to toy around with considering its unique rod ratio of 1.62 I believe. Being is it is the same thing as a B16A1 other than the crank, rods and pistons, I see nothing wrong with fixing one up, I'm not sure who makes aftermarket rods for that motor, but I'm thinking eagle or cunningham should. Bore or sleeve it to 85 mm, and its a 1.8L with a slightly faster moving piston than the B16 for a little added torque.

I say build it, boost it and post the results.

 

You could give it to me to play with, if you don't have the time

 

I'd love a B17A w/ O/S CTR pistons and CTR cams in a 99 H/B as my daily driver.

 

You could always send me that B16 block with my exhaust, so I can run that and build the LS block up to a 2.0LS/VTEC and laugh at ITR's :D

 

Put the b17 crank and rods on the b16 block and have a 1.7L b16 or if you're looking to get rid of the crank then let me know cause i have an extra set of b17 rods laying around....

 

I know a guy with a 92 GSr,the one that came with the b17 motor.It was gutted with Nitto drag radials,i/h/e,intake manifold,fuel rail and fpr,real skunk2 ecu and skunk stage 1 cams and he did a 14.0X with it.

 

A B17A block is also good for Californians who want a reffable motor.
