searched but all i got where opinions and countless "sleeper factor" qoutes.
I have a b16a2 should i stroke to 2.0 or just buy a b20 block? Which would make the most power? Then which would be cheaper? I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" saying. So how should I invest my money? Thanks

 

By just increasing the stroke to achieve a 2.0 your going to have to run a 95mm crank. That in combination with the short deck height of the B16 (7.997) doesnt leave much room for a much of a rod. Even with the pin pushed in the .94X range you still dont have much to work with in terms of rod length. The geometry on that set up would be harsh.

You could however, sleeve the B16 and bore it to 84-85mm and run a LS 89mm crank with either the B16 or LS rods. The B16 rods will give you a less desirable r/s ratio of about 1.50 but will be a little less stressfull in terms of the ring pack. You can use the LS rods as well and maintane the LS 1.54 r/s ratio but that will definitely require a button style rail support and a much smaller pin, either .748 or .708. Any which way you go your goingto need a custom piston.
