the Stock B-series rods are quite stong. getting them pitted makes them more likely to hold at higher boost, but I will look into forged ones as well.
The way I see it is since I'm gonna Gut the block I might as well just buy a core.
ok JDM B18c = 3000 USD --- 178hp
for that price I can get
core block 160$
skunk2 intake manifold $286
skunk2 racing valve springs $239
skunk2 Valves $312
skunk2 ti retainors $143
RC 400cc injectors $338
Crower stage 2 cams $365
CROWER connecting rods $342
JE 11:1 pistons $352
-----------
total $2537.xx
yes I know this does not include machining and other stuff... however the B18B will be stonger than it's b18C brother... and have a shitload more HP even in N/A form.
