to tell you the truth... ive heard this wasnt worth it cuz its not much of a difference. ive had a friend witha b17, and he regreted it. youd be one of the few running that settup. my friend has an ls crank in his b16a with custom pistons(shorter) an it such a sleeper. 85mm bore too. i would suggest that, but its up to u.

i dont know anything about those cranks though, i just know hondas cranks are top quality

Yeah, it ups the displacement to 1595cc to 1678cc.... so couldnt be all that bad?? I don't want to deal with custom rods, plus the R/S of a ls crank in a b16 isnt to my liking... i dont wanna screw with that to much, to much custom work... I could buy a used one, but im worried about wear on the crank... high milage ect...

just keep your b16 crank then. better r/s than the b17. 73 more cc of displacement isnt really that big of a diff.

the jun stroker kit uses an 89mm crank, same as an LS. it makes power. just dont rev it up too high too much.if you go strong enough rods and good bearings, it will be all good.

using the 400 dollors to up the compression will do more than that 1.7 crank.
