Post your stroker setup (turbo, injectors, timeslips, dyno #'s...)

[herostar]

I'm just checking to see what everyone likes/dislikes about their stroker setups. I just finished buiding my motor 3 days ago, and have about 300 miles on it. I haven't taken it past 3500 rpm yet, but the low end torque is great. What kind of turbos, injectors, management, etc are you stroker guys using. What kind of dyno #'s and timeslips are you getting with your setups? This is for me and many others looking for stroker advice and setup information

I just finished buiding my motor 3 days ago, and have about 300 miles on it. I haven't taken it past 3500 rpm yet,

I'd start running it hard soon. As soon as I started boosting mine, I swear the motor become noticably stronger and more crisp (hard to describe). Both things that should happen with a good ring seal.

I'm a motoman method believer after breaking in this last motor. I did wait until 500-600 miles to turn up te boost to 25 psi though. Set your boost as low as it will go and go pound on it. Nice long, high rpm pulls, decel with the motor.

I just took mine to the Track lastnight.
[email protected] 22psi on pump1.74 60'

Then I put in Race Gas 27psi, couldn't get below 1.85 60'. As soon as I would get to 6000 in first the tires would just spin. I would hit second and spin somemore

Theres like 2 proper ways to break in a motor and a million wrong ways. You did one of the million.

happy boosting.

My last set up was a 2.3 stroker, 660 injectors, afc, 255 walbro, Buscher race fmic, custom 3in exhasut turbo back, and a 16g. Tuning was done with Swordfishs assdyno. All times were at the local 1,000 ft track on stock suspenson and old ass all weather tires. It ran a 10.2 on 17 psi the first trip to the track, but we were limited to the stock BOV. The second time we went, we entered a street class and had to do a 10 mile drive to prove we were street legal. We trashed second and was still able to run a 10.9 with no second gear, thats right going from first to third, but with a new greedy BOV we were able to make 28 psi. The car also dynoed 360hp and 349 tq at 22psi on the same setup (was the local dyno day so no tuning, I just wanted to know what it would do before we tore it apart).

Im still workin on my new set up. Turbo is a AGP T66, SFP manny, AEM standalone, 1,000 cc injectors, Shep Built tranny, HKS cams, Polk Performance built Motor, head and Sheet metal intake (same 2.3 as above), Tial wastegate and BOV, walbro 255 intank and a walbro 392 inline. Thats just to skim the important stuff. Plus my coilover are being built now by DSS. New wheels and tires are sittin in my kitchen to be mounded and ballanced.

Swordfishs car has the custom 156 mm long rod 2.4 stroker. Its a 2g, and has 720's, DSM Link, TRE tranny, HKS cams, built head, im not for sure on the turbo something pte. It was run a the 1/4 track in Mokan, and it went 11.54 at 127 mph, also it was the first time to the track with the new power. It to is on stock suspenson and wheels and tires.

More info on both car can be seen at www.SwordfishGSX.8m.com

How did he do the wrong thing? He didn't pound on it, and is letting it get to about 500 miles before he beats it. Where's the problem in that?

 

[bigjangin]

even if you dont believe in the method of breakin where you just get on it right away, you should very the rpms and load over the first 500 miles, getting progressively more aggressive. If you dont take it over 3500 rpms over the first 500 miles of "break-in" your rings may not seat.

Mine 2.4 isnt done yet, waiting for my cams to get here.

 

[herostar]

Allright, I'm back in town and have access to the computer now... The only reason I wasn't beating on it was because I put in a new clutch and was under the impression that you're not supposed to beat on a clutch for teh first 500 miles... Is that right?

 

[Colossus]

Eh, I beat on mine. Clutch is a clutch nothing to seat

 

[sunflashx]

If you beleive in breaking a clutch in, just don't launch the car for the first few hundred miles. Anything else shouldn't be that big of a deal.

You can run a motor pretty hard without slipping the clutch a ton.

 

[herostar]

allright, I installed my 680cc injectors and started tuning the safc last night... WOW! what a difference! at only 10 psi on the dinky BIG28 this thing feels alot stronger.

Here are some of my observations. The 7bolt with same setup.
93 octane
In 3rd 21psi at 3600-3800rpm.
4th gear 21psi at 3800-4000.
5th gear 21psi at 4000-4200.
Vacumn at Idle -14.
93 octane
2.3 Stroker
5th gear 21psi at 3100rpm
4th gear 21psi at 2900rpm
3rd gear 21psi at 2600-2800rpm

Vacumn at idle -18.

Ive heard of people breaking in motors by starting it with no oil in it! I dont know if I could do it or not but it worked for them. They said something along the lines of it will seet the rings quicker

 

[44pirate]

What is this thread supposed to be about?
1. Breaking in a motor.
2. How does your stroker run.

[44pirate]

So how is your stroker running?

 

[herostar]

Actually it's in the shop getting the ac fixed but other than that it's running great. I just need to tune it more... I think I might have one of those faulty ACT clutches too though... Hopefully not, but we'll find out tomorrow

Im also building a 2.3 but with a 2.4L Hyundai Sonata ('89-92) block. But Im pondering a turbo setup. What would that run be, in 1/4 mile time estimation? Im thinking of either a evo3 or 50trim, but cant decide!! I keep leaning towards the evo3's driveability and cheapness, or the 50 trims potential (and use of the 2.3L!!). PLEASE help me decide what turbo to use.

 

[bus]

The biggest you can afford is the one you need, the strokers make alot of tq. They will impress you with around town driving with out gettin in to boost. The spool was nasty on my 16g, really to quick (cant belevie I said that ).

 

[DSM mechanix]

DSMKevan, your just thinking to small man .

 

[DSMKevan]

Ummmm you say that when Im getting a 2.3? j/k

I probably am, but I think it would be best for me to ride in cars with a evo3 and a 50 trim.

Now my only concerns with a 50 trim are:

*fuel delivery ( 190lph used now)
*FMIC (evo8 FMIC used now)
*exhaust (2.5inch used now)
*tuning : Could I tune SUCCESSFULLY with a MAFT? Ive never tuned before
*cooling (bigger FMIC=less cooling)
*cost....'nuff said
*MPG: 50trim=bad MPG?
*drivetrain: (3bolt rear axles now, tranny?)

What turbo is that on?

if you arent overconcerned with lag like most dsmers check out this turbo

http://www.full-race.com/pd_turbos.html

the t3/t67...its a badass turbo. capable of well over 600whp and spool isnt to bad. i would guess you will have full boost in 4th by 4300-4500 on a 2.3.

im running a t3/60-1 on a 2.3 now and it gets full boost before 3800 in 4th...wishing i would have went bigger, thats why i have been trying to sell my t3/60-1..but at the same time i just want to stop messing with it for awhile and just drive it.

EDIT: just looked at your concerns above and the t3/t67 is prolly a little to much for your goals/setup now..

What turbo is that on?

PTE 50trim
