Wow, 1k is a lot. But look at it this way, if you don't stroke it but buy another engine you don't have to take apart the engine (don't know if it's your only car and if you have the guts to take your engine apart?) and it will possibly be cheaper too.
you dont think 1k is a lot?
So what are you talking about?Wow, 1k is a lot.
Well, I think a brand new stroker kit only would cost you at least 1500-2000, then there will be the extra costs of labor (or will you do it yourself) and things like headgasket etc. That can add up.dude thats before shipping and handling , if you want the whole detail look most websites sell the b18c complete swap for $4500 before shipping and handling, id be lucky to my whole b16b swap for $3500 which they sell for around that much before shipping and handling.
I see what your coming from when your telling me to buy a new block but wouldn't it just be a waste to sell such a low mile block and pay almost $2000 just to get a unknown new/use block that's possibly been use and abused.
Turbo/sc with stock internals is nowhere nearly as reliable as a B18 N/A. If a B18C swap costs 4500 over there I doubt you can stroke AND get it tuned for 2k or less. But I have no insight in the prices there (USA?).plus for $2000 im sure i can just boost it with a turbo or supercharger or stroke it with a ls cranks and rods, itr cranks and rods, or even a stroker kit.
and get it all tune and im sure the output would be better than the itr motor right?
idk man, sell it for 3500 at most and buying a legit b18c online thats like 1k on top, might as well buy a stoker kit?
You also need OEM B18c crank and OEM B18c rods. That makes it a lot more expensive.
that is exactly what i would do. if your block is an r-spec with 30,000 miles on it, why would you give that up to buy a unknown block that is exactly the same. keep your block, stroke it, buy fresh internals( ARP headstuds, ARP rod bolts , ACL race bearings, and new type r oil pump and OEM ITR pistons all less than $600usd) and throw your existing head on. ta-da new motor!
so just buy thoses parts? is there anything else i need? and im from the usa >< dont know how much of a difference that will make in parts
as mentioned by JT you also need ITR rods and ITR crankshaft. Its not cheap.
ya thats what i thought but wasn't sure about ht other stuff the guy was talking about, what about if i get the spoon stoker kit? Spoon 1.8L Stroker Kit for B16B
would i need anything else?
