Need advice on rebuild

[smeister]

I was planning to rebuild my B18C1 and CROM is tripping as usual. I am looking at something in my budget, and if it takes resleeving that will go over my budget probably.

Option NA

JDM P30 oversized pistons and eagle or stock rods, itr valvetrain, and my current ctr cams.

Option Future Turbo

JE pistons to give me 10.1:1 cs and eagle rods, itr valvetrain, and my old gsr cams.

For the turbo option do I have to or should I get it resleeved? How much would it run?

The price for both may run around the same since I would sell the ctr cams if I go turbo and that would make up the money for the JE pistons.

Do you have any other setups in mind for the rebuild? Prices? Thanks for the input guys!

If your going Turbo you better go ahead and sleeve it. Do it right the first time, cause the first time you get angry and turn up the boost your gonna explode your block. Yes it is expensive, but the reward is forever giving. Cost for a good built block will be around the 2500$ to 3500$ range. good luck.
