what if i were to put a b16 crank in a b18a with ctr pistons, woul this raise or lower the compression?, would this work well with a b16 head?

gooseshit

can't u use the b18a rods?

red90dx

so a b18 a/b block with b16a crank & b16b pistons and rods will make a b16b?


fairly cheap buildup??? add a vtec head and power would be 170ish?

91si

would b16a rods work?

imported_gatherer

what about custom rods..... wouldn't this create a sort of long rod engine???

imported_gatherer

wow ok so what do you think is the max the bottom end could rev too? well past 10 grand I'd think.... what about the top end could that be built forsay a 12,000 rpm redline?

damn I can't open mov files from work

so with a b16a crank witch rods do i use?

gooseshit

hey b16civic, since u know alot about this lets say i was to copy a set of b16b rods what kind of metal would u use?..........and how do they knife edge a crank. can i put it on a lathe and turn it ?...do u need to balance it?how?would it be a good idea to do it on a ls/vtec?..............r u the owner of leitner? maybe ur looking for a machinist/cnc operator/cnc program(cnc lathe /can mill, can operate wire edm's...i work at www.A-linetool.com..........just thought i ask but any info u can give me on the rods and the crank would be great................thanks

shlammed

judging by the video that was a 9 or 10 second civic

gooseshit

what about use a titanium rod for ls/vtec?

gooseshit

would u have to have one b16b rod so i can copy it out of titanium?.................i'll make u a set if u give me a job at leitner!!!!.................also what would be better, using the b16a crank then a b18a crank?.

gooseshit

just asking what set-up would be better?

narace

no replacement for displacement,

if you are racing in a 1600cc class then go with the b16b. if not, then go with a bigger motor.

red90dx

there is replacement for displacement..


FORCED INDUCTION .....

gooseshit

i'm going all motor.......so would i be better off built a poormans b16b(b18a block,b16a crank,b16b pistons and rods) or b18a(b18a block,b18a crank,b18a rods and b16a pistons or ctr pistons)...........don't want to do forced induction

red90dx

realize more power with a vtec engine over a non ??? sure...

but a stock gsr engine in a crx vs say a dohc zc with turbo...no chance turbo hands down.
