stroked
 

Anyone have any experience with the crower stroker kits? I'm thinking about doing one with a b18b with some cams,etc.

you'd probably gain more doing that to a b16a or b18c but it'd still be sweet... it would pretty much just give you a b20 with less bore and more stroke though

I'm trying to find a way to create more torque, but keep it NA. Small bore/long stroke should rev high, shouldn't it? That's how I'll have to make power. Maybe your right, though. A b16 might be a better base.

no its bigger bore less stroke to rev higher.. but having stroke does create more torque.... but if you start reving that the piston speeds get way to high and causes problems

Has anyone offset ground a honda crank?

screw strokers.
you drive a small 4 banger. you want low end torque. buy a v8.


and they have horrible rod stroke ratios.

LOL. A know it all! I've had 9 V8 cars before my honda, and I'll never go back. I find the civic to be alot more fun to drive, and a hell of alot cheaper on gas. Four of those nine v8's I built myself. I know what I'm doing. Auto machinist for 3.5 years and licensed tech for 6 years. I get sick of ppl saying "buy a v8" instead of putting some effort into something creative.

BURN!!!!!
hehehe

The main issue here is piston travel and speed. You lose a great deal of reliability when stroking a small sub 2 liter. Most of the power is made in the higher rpms, and the motors are not great torque makers in the first place.

It would be simpler and cheaper to squeeze in an H22.

As you well know v8's produce majority of their torque at lower rpm range. Torque being the stuff that moves you down the road. Thus a stroker would work fine with reliability relatively intact.

This coming from experience with building HD stroker kits in years gone by....

If you choose to stroke, I would keep it really conservative if you want any life out of it...

The cars a daily driver. I realize I won't get a huge amount of torque. Just want a seat of the pants gain. Also, want to keep it a b series.

sounds more like you're a know it all :rolleyes: and thanks for sharing your life story :crazy:

Its not like you are onto something new here. People have stroked honda motors for years(well not many) but enough and its pretty much a waste of time imo.
go back to your v8 if you want lots of low end torque OR just supercharge the motor(with a jrsc) or turbo. Thatll give you some more low end.(depending on turbo) a b18b would also be a poor choice to stroke as it already has a ****ty r/s ratio .

the only thing worthwhile to do with the b18b is leave it stock OR turbo it! cams in that head wouldnt do much.

better off with a vtec head if you want to start playing with cams etc.

Not to mention when you start getting some decent torque in fwd , traction becomes an issue.

It's so nice to see everyone getting along. Just once it would nice to read a posting without all the mud slinging. As to the ? at hand alittle extra torque never hurts anything.

that'll never happen :cheers:

I love when steve gets mad

:cheers:

the only way to know if you'll be happy with it is to buy it and try it. we can't tell you what'll make you happy. and no, it's not likely that anyone here has used the crower kit. try an american site, you should have more luck there.
