Old Prelude Si.

 

that's what I thought. I actually have the B21 crank in my garage, i got it a year ago. But never done anything with it. i was told that I can take the crank out of that motor and put it in my b16. that it is the same crank that Eagle blueprints for their stroker kit. IS THAT CORRECT?

 

Dunno, call Eagle and ask

 

that would be the logical thing to do would it.

 

Eagle reworks the B20A cranks for most of their stroker kits. But no, the B21A and the B20A are not interchangable with the rest of the B series, although they do share the common 81mm bore.

Why not, I have called many companies when I have questions. I guess the more logical thing to do would be to ask people on the internet who don't have a actually know, but will speculate all day.

 

the company will honestly answer you? I have never had any luck with that. They give lines of bullshit most of the time. All these sales pitches and compeletly avoid ever answering the question. I'll try it next time I have a question though.

 

I've had good luck contacting companies, even had a shop troubleshoot a non starter over the phone. Usually things that are hard to get would be info like cam specs from a race company, weird paint codes and stuff, but I'd guess that if GE uses a certain crank to base a kit off of, they will probably tell you that they do, but won't tell you the mods they have to make, but maybe they will.

 

Yes!!! it's a ton of work and not worth it, very unreliable, requires tons of costom fabrication of things, and not much increase in power if any.

Then if you have a 88-91 you can swap it in there and get smoked all day by b16 civics :D.
