Would a 84mm bore give a b16 mid range tq like a b18c? I know that 3mm cant compensate for the much larger stroke of a b18c. but with CTR intake cam GSR exhaust cam and a t3/sc61 it should be very noticeable right?

Im still contemplating buying a gsr shortblock and building it or, resleeving my b16 to 84mm. my goal is to have a 400hp+ car with very good low end response here is a break down of what I have:

Full weight 94 civic ex coupe
stock bore b16a2
eagle rods, JE pistons 8.8:1 c/r
780cc precision injectors
rev springs and retainers
CTR intake cam GSR exhaust
both JG edlebrock intake and aebs typhoon (not sure which one I will use)
sc61-stage 5 wheel .69 a/r
AEM EMS
LS tranny with quaife differential (complements of Earl )

So whats the best option? keep my b16 and go 84mm or get a b18c?

 

ttt

 

with a b16 stroke you'll never have the torque or midrange of a 1.8, but the bigger bore will help. also, ditch the LS trans and get a b16 trans.

 

and i would go with the Edelbrock intake over the AEBS.

 

selling the trans is not an option. I have a $900 quaife in it. plus I overpaid for the trans because it was legitamate. which is rare in my aera.

well thats one of your major problems there. the combination of a b16 and an LS tranny is probably one of the worst possible and will make your car extremely sluggish

84mm B16
LS tranny

PS u can always pull the quaiffe out and put it into a b16 tranny(wont fit GSR/ITR)

 

More midrange = Higher static compression, a small-*** turbo and a really good tune. Stroking also helps the midrange.

so get the b18c or build 84mm b16 and more boost?

 

Well if you are sleeving either one than get the b18
If you already have the pistons you may have a problem
If you only can afford to build the b16 OR buy a gsr bottom....
SLEEVE THAT BITCH

 

I think I am just going to go 84mm on the b16
