ummmm...that block doesnt look sleaved at all.

 

For the sake of our further edification, if you're building a super motor, is there a particular reason to stroke a B18 instead of starting with a B20?

 

Also, isnt the compression going to be to high to run a turbo on a b18 block w/ type -r head?

 

thats what im sayin, it doesnt look like its sleeved at all judging by that pic

 

Its sleeved! Open deck sleeves I installed them. The pistons are 84.5mm.

And heads do not determine if the motor has high or low compression. Pistons do. The head being milled only changes the compression by a few points.

We used the ls because it was a motor that had no home, with a cracked sleeve between 2 and 3. No theory behind it, was just avalible

 

nice setup dude, who cares what they all say... bottom line ur car is gonna be sick

 

LOL... I think we all understand that theory of parts use.

 

Check out the pistons. They are flat which means less compression. The pistons and head gasket determine the compression ratio.

 

that's a beautiful motor.

nice work man.

 

I'll post up dyno numbers in a few weeks
