JackHCChen Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I am currently being f*cked over by my mechanic and i'm planning on going to court against him. But i just wanna know some info before i make a fool outta myself. The story was that he agreed to put a rebuilt B18B LS motor in my car and a stroker kit for $1000 in return of sponsoring his shop. And now he wants to back outta deal after i paid him and waited for over half year. His reason of backing out the deal was because I wanna change from supercharged/turbo charged build motor with a 9:1 compression to a N/A build motor with a 11:1 compression and he had to spend a lot extra for the parts, so at the end we agree on going back to the very origonally deal that we agreed on. He told me the motor has been bored from 1.8 to 2.1, and he told me that a stroker kit doesn't necessary to have the piston and that i can use my stock piston and just use shorter rods to make it work, so i was wondering is it possible to use a 1.8 stock piston head on a motor that's being bored out to 2.1?? And have you guys ever heard of a stroker kit that doesn't include the piston?? cos i never heard of that.... Also, is there much difference on building the block between a 9:1 compression and 11:1 compression?? cos i think he's just bullcrapting me about this whole thing. Third, is there any way for a 9:1 compression B18B LS motor get to 200 horsepower with Crane cam stage 2 cams, the mistry "stroker kit", AEM cam gears, valve springs and retrainer kit, ACT street clutch, lighter flywheel, DC 4-2-1 header, and a 2.5" custom catback?? because the 200 horsepower is also part of the origional deal. And i really don't believe it can hit 200 with just 9:1 compression... Also, if anybody knows any really good civil lawsuit lawyer in Indiana, that would be really helpful too. Thanks in advance.

BigBirdSucks Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 where is this in IN? anytime you bore sleeves on a block, you'll have to use aftermarket pistons. I don't see you making anywhere near 200whp with 9:1 compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 He is full of it. You need to learn some grammar skills before I try to decipher that to tell you what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHCChen Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 i'm a total FOB...sorry for the grammer problem....i'm located at West Lafayette, IN. and the shop is call CJM Motorsports. The owner is really shady and it's been 6 months since i put my car in and still nothing is done to it. On some other forum some people told me to stroke a motor is different than bored...and piston is not required if the engine is being stroked....so i'm wondering exactally what is the difference b/w a stroke motor and a bored motor....and if the engine turns out to be 9:1 compression, can i just change the dome top piston to up the compression?? i'm going N/A anyways so i want higher compression to make the full of my engine....any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Go get your car. Tell him to go to hell. Have another shop pull your engine. Send your engine to me and I will build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 just out of curiosity, why did you change your mind from being turbocharged/supercharged to natural aspirated? also, why the b18b for NA? you should go for a b18c5, but thats just my opinion. good luck with the engine.

2point2 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 he had to "spend alot extra" for the parts to go from turbo to NA???? uh, just new pistons, but if youre NOT BUYING the turbo ones... damn, how did you let your car sit there that long? BTW... why build the top end of an LS, unless you're going LS/VTEC? just my opinion, but before you buy any crane or whatever LS cams, valvetrain, etc., save that money, and go get a VTEC head, throw those 11.1 pistons you mentioned in your block, and you should be right around 200 hp at the wheels! but I'm an all motor head, so thats just my 2 cents Whatever happens, good luck, man. ALWAYS check out a shop b4 they touch your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHCChen Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 so basically i just need to buy my own pistons and rods and maybe crank and i'm all set?? no engine work need to be done rite??/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point2 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 uh, no, that all depends on what exactly this jackoff did to your motor. He "bored" it? How much? You need to know EXACTLY what has been done to that block before you touch it. Take it to a reputable Honda mechanic, find out what size pistons/rods you need, and you should be fine. If your goal is only 200hp, you don't need to fully build your motor like that. But above all, why are you spending all that money on a B18b? Drop a B18c in there, thats a much better place to start. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
