Longer stroke engines have trouble hitting high rpms safely. Your best bet is to stick with your B16 after all it is a square engine. If not go for a stroke and 84mm pistons. But the real question here is, can you trust any of the mechs in malaysia to do it properly for you.

 

[super fei lo]

agree..
fitment for engine is really important.....
if fitment is wrong...
cuts of engine life spend

When it comes to design, the B18c will be much better compared to the B20b coz of the sleeve design. But nowadays, with competent tuner, tuning it conservatively will outlast the same as any other engine, as long as it is tuned conservatively and rev as practical as possible. But i would do the B18C for durability and would do the B20B for the power and wait till it cracks due to high RPM revving.

bro..
use B20B, hybrid with B16B head..siok mey..
upgrade piston JUN 2L,high cams,adjustable pulley,haltech ecu..try tgok..

 

[hattech-v]

better dont go for b20b unless u willing to spend a lot of time for ur car resting inside workshop...

 

[thetu5]

yup..spend more money, use B18C R blocklh..upgrade to oversized piston.

 

[super fei lo]

for daily driven,
handling......
i think u better go for 18cR or mayb 18c....
coz less power easier to handle......

but to really built up a 20b...
u need to spare more time, effort and $$$...
it will cost more than a 20b....

my fren is driving a EG 2 door with 84mm 20b block doesnt seems to have any major prob....
drove for 6 mth...from JB to KL to JB average 2 times a week.

 

[pencalat]

yah yah yah.....
luckily i drove to kl twice a month... hehe...
due to ur right foot ler... am i rite??

 

[super fei lo]

yayaya..
right food...
4.785 lagi teruk....

The problem with 20B is the RS ratio, side wall load increases with RPM and they are also not so forgiving with high cylinder pressure and detonation. So the key to its reliability is reasonable RPM and tuning. But yeah, i have to agree, for a peace of mind, the 18C engine is a better choice. If you can slam in the 89mm crank into the 18C, it would be better though.

Good luck in your choice.
