I was actually talking about sleeving a VTEC B18 or B16B to 84mm and using an LS crank aand rods to get 2.0L of displacement. It's like building a B20/VTEC, but better in my opinion. Stock B20's are rated between 126 and 146hp, depending on the version you get. There is usually a lot of work that has to be done in order to build a B20/VTEC the proper way. Most people usually cut corners which leads to engine failure. If you sleeved a B18C/B16B to 84mm and ran an LS crank and LS rods, you would have the same bore and stroke as a B20, but you would already have the factory installed VTEC oiling components and a block girdle, things that usually aren't properly added to B20/VTEC setups.
