b17 crack in b18 ????
 

can you put the b17 crank in a b18 to give it a better rod stroke ratio, or would it be better to put it in a b16 or something. i just got one and heard a few rumors and was wondering if any were true ???

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

yeah i can, not sure if you can though ::) it will give you a better RS ratio, but sure if its better than the B16 though...hell you can put a B16A or B16B crank in a B18 block and get an EVEN BETTER RS ratio....

in closing: you need custom (as in NOT off the shelf rods) and it wont be worth your time/money/effort...just build a B16A or build a B18...either way you can make more power than you will need...

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

Yes you can do it but a better route would be to get custom pistons with the correct compression height. Is it worth you while? It depends on what you are trying to do I guess.

If it were me:
B18C rods 137.92 mm. (This a calculated # as I don't remember what it is.)
B17 crank 81.40 mm.
B18 deck height 211.50 mm.

211.5-((81.4/2)+137.92)=Compression Height=32.88 mm. or 1.294" I think tha stock compression height is 30.00 mm. or 1.181" for all B series.

Probably round down to 32.8 mm. to help create some deck clearance.

R/S sratio would be 1.69:1.

thats a lot of work for a "good" rod/stroke...

ill simplify it for everyone:

1.84 Rod/stroke ratio, 100% daily drivable, Honda reliablity hell you even get some awesome gear ratios and a LSD tranny :y

look at eagle rods, they have the needed length :)

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

and for some crackheaded reason i just sold my CTR crank/rods.... :-\

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

dont destroke anything
you want more power not less
if anything go 95mm stroke son :P

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

more stoke = more torque....

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

I really debate though how usefull torque in a fwd Honda is :-\

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

well the heavier the car the more tq it needs...

88 CRX HF....the ------ prime canidate for a B16B...

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

having a built b16a in my gsr ill be the first to tell you you want tq.

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

::)

Honda put a B18 in it for a reason...

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

yeah but josh puts a b16a in his gsr for other reasons, probably the retardly cheap cost.

cheap > torque

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

I drive CRX's and EF hatches so i guess its different for me.I would love a B16B but they are pricey.

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

price has gone down by an average of 1k for pretty much any jdm vtak motor swap :y

Re: b17 crack in b18 ????
 

---- that...interesting note: everytime i have seen a B16B in person it has been in a JDM Honda-Tech ricer "SPOON" hatch... "its made tite JDM y0!"... cars that they probly never rape like they should :3
and everyone that does have one, people on Honda-Tech are trying to get them to swap 1.8 cranks into them?!?!?!? "umm, yeah...ill take a FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR LSVTEC...THANKS..."
