last month a blew my b16a block, it dropped a valve a slightly scored the cylinder walls taking my nice type r head and spoon pistons with it, its lying there now as i have a spare engine so its now time to get finger out and rebuild... time is no prob but i want to do it right,some things i need

1) daily driver, actually bout 600km per week so has to be reliable
2) regular track use (6 times per year)
3) needs to have stock idle
4) have to put this block back as for oem engine number so long block is out.

i was thinking alone the lines of 1.8 l toda stroker kit and jun iii cams with the approiate kit, power fc, now the gains i want even though mostly track use is high end, not to bother'd with thorque. whp is goal. does anyone suggest kits, is it worth my time going 1.8L on short block, like will it cause reliabilitly problems with increased rev limit ie block twisting? if 1.8L is the way to go which kit? and price? i have approw 6k euro for complete conversion but this must also include clutch etc, labour not included....

so what i have at the moment to work with:
ek9 cams springs retainers (should i use these?)
b16a engine (block needs to be milled)
ek9 inlet manifold
ek9 injectors

any help would be of geat help, ps my goal is as high as possible whp at apporx 82-8500 rpm...

thanks
 
if you dont plan to go past 8500rpm you wont have any reliablility problems with the stroker it, but if all out whp is your goal i suggest keep it a 1.6 and take it to 9200rpm with better cams springs and retainers. have the head ported, raise compression to about 11.5, usa a velocity stack intake, a good header, and 2.5" exuast.
 
Well i think you can use the jun stage 3 cams, you should raise the compression, i think that with stock compression you will be overcammed with the jun stage 3. you should need at least as blinx9900 said, 11.5.

I will recommend the spoon 1.8 stroker kit! or if you have the money, TODA :)
 
and if you have teh money get a toda header to mach that $$ toda stroker kit :)
