I love my B16B

I'm just guessing like 220 for the stroked CTR and like 200 for the stroke GSR. sure the price of the CTR over the GSR is alot and a set of cams would tie them power wise and the GSR would be cheaper but lacks the coatings and super high redline that is used in the CTR. But if you think that its a bad idea i'm willing to hear other ideas i'm looking for a High redling (making power up there too) fast reving allmotor engine.

You should try using periods and commas, it makes it a bit easier to understand what you're saying.

Anyways, yes, there are stroker kits to take a B16A out to 1.8 liters. Guess what they are? 89MM stroke and 81mm bore, exact same dimensions as an integra ls. Only problem is when you use the longer crank in a B16 block you need to run shorter rods and/or smaller pistons with the pin higher up. This gives you an even worse R/S ratio than an LS will have, and it will be a bad setup if you ever want to go FI because there isn't enough room for a sizable dish.

Yeah, CTR pistons are molybdenum coated on the skirts, but that's no big deal. I got my pistons swain gold coated on the top and C-9 coated on the skirts for about 170 dollars, and that's better than what's on the CTR.

Just because a stock CTR motor makes 185 horsepower and a GSR motor makes 170 horsepower doesn't mean the CTR will make any more power when they're built. 84MM GSR motor with a P&P head, JG edelbrock intake, and some skunk2 stage 2 or 3 cams would perform just as good if not better than a 2-liter stroked/bored CTR motor. In the long run the GSR would outlast the B16B because it would have a much better rod/stroke ratio, and have less sideloading on the cylinder walls.

i think i'm gonna be quite happy with the turbo gsr motor that is gonna go in my soon to be 5th gen hatch in october

sorry bout the lack or grammer was kinda in a rush. Ok it's only on the pistons i could have sworn reading the whole thing was. I understand that the just because it makes less to start it won't make less built. i sorta understand the R/S ratio and all (just started reading about it the other day) and to be honest for my earlier commet didn't even factor it in.
Thanks alot for your help all.
