I'm plannin to do a lsvtec all motor project and just wanted some opinions from other people that has or know someone that has lsvtec engines.. I have a b18a block and I'm thinking of gettin the block resleeved to a 2.0 instead of stayin 1.8..Does anyone knows if theres a dramatic change on the overall performance if a block is bored to 2.0 or should I stay 1.8 instead? and also would ctr pistons be too small on a 2.0 liter engine since they're more made for 1.8? Thanks all in advance!

 

ctr pistons wont fit in a 2.0
ctr pistons are eight a 81mm bore or 81.5mm
a 2.0 is a uses a 84mm bore
you you will need to get after market forged pistons

 

i say go the biggest bore you can... i building an all motor project and we are planning to go 86mm bore.

I thought CTR came in standard 81mm bore, and 81.25mm over bore.

For all motor, you would want the most displacement you can get, so I would resleeve it to 84mm.

 

Just wondering, what does it usually cost to bore out a motor to increase displacement??
