To Stroke or not To Stroke?????

[level10a/t93tsi]

will im thinking of putting in a stroker kit 2.0 to a 2.3L when i rebuild my motor but dont know if i should. what do you think the up side and down sides will be? let me know what you think.


P.S
dont look at my mods list sense my motor is pulled out and being rebuilt with all upgraded stuff.

Well, I believe the main upside is more torque at lower RPMs and the ability to spool larger turbos quicker.

BTW, why are you rebuilding your engine?

Yea, more torque with a stroker. But you will also get increased wear on the cylinder walls (probably not enough to worry about though). Personally I would just go with a nicely built bottom end.

there is no replacement for displacement
go for it there are no downsides

level10: If you're looking for more displacement, have you researched Magnus' Hybrid 4G64/63 engines?

the stroker would be bad@ss. out of my price range for a long long time tho.
