ok sorry if there is a post somewhere about stroking the B16B to 1.8L. But I need help...
Whats the pros and cons of going to 1.8.
I'm thinking about TODA's kit either staying with 1.6 or stroking to 1.8. These are some options;
opt 1. Spec B camshafts + up rated valve springs + adjustable cam pulleys + head gasket + Hi Power timing belt
opt 2. Spec C2 camshafts + up-rated valve springs + adjustable cam pulleys + head gasket + timing belt + oil pump gear + high compression forged pistons + forged connecting rods + 1.8 crankshaft.
I hear stuff like stroking the B16B to 1.8 would require the redline to be dropped to around 8500rpm for reliability. Cylinders walls cracking etc... and stuff like rod/stroke ratio...
I would like to upgrade my pistons as well with opt 1. opt 2 is damn expensive... can anyone recommend some combinations please.........
