the b20 already has alot of torque for a rex, i'd just leave it at 84, but i'm not sure how far you could go.

also wouldn't you need a major port job to feed a larger engine, the b20 head is prolly the most restrictive b-series head stock, let alone without the extra displacement.

With good replacement sleeves, you'll max out around 87mm.

I'd start with an 84-85mm bore though, to leave you room to overbore in the future.

Nitrous loves high compression.

max out at 87mm....where in sam-hell can you find 87mm sleeves nevermind pistons. and how the f*$k would you fit a b16's 81mm bore comb chamber to a 87mm piston....im confused.

let me know where to go for the sleeves of that size, or 85mm etc.

thank yo
John

Sleeves don't really come in sizes, you have to bore them out to the size you want.

Special order.

FYI, the Crower 2.2l B-series stroker kits rely on an 87mm bore and a 92mm (2.19l) or 95mm (2.26l) stroke. The pistons are designed with 81mm combustion chambers in mind.
