I know but im going for some custom cranks and rods for a good r/s ratio and the displacement i turned up with is around 1.6L, i want it to be around 1.8L. So basically itll look like a 2.0L engine but actually be 1.8L
Im going turbo so of course theyll be resleeved (going with AEBS T-Sleeves). The main question is would they be practically the same (as in sleeve thickness)? Would it even be worth getting a b20 block?

Price it out. The B20 and B18 both resleeved and bored to 84mm are going to be the same in terms of performance... so get whichever setup is cheaper for you. They'll both be running the exact same setup internally (to your pistons), so whichever you can get cheaper resleeved and bored to 84mm is your best choice. The only real difference when they're both resleeved and at the same bore is the stamp on the block. Now if you're getting the B18C block, you do get oil squirters, a crank girdle, and the oil cooler... which are nice.
