2.3 stroker setup

[dan2288]

I plan on buying all of the parts seperatly. What exactly will I need ? I know I will need a 4G64 crank, rods and pistons. Are the rods the same lenght as stock ones ? Will I need to do any work to the block ?

 

[JayRolla]

You need stroker pistons. Im pretty sure the rod is still the same stroke. I would call up who ever your buying from and ask them so you know what you need.

 

[dan2288]

if I go .20 over pistons then will the block have to be bored ? What else would have to be done to the block ?

Yes, .20 over pistons will require you to bore the block.

You'll have to clearance it for the longer stroke, If I remember right I belive it's the rod cap on #3 that needs extra room on the mains.

i'm lookin to do that same thing and is a 4g64 crank the same as an eagle stroker crank like the one off of ebay?

 

[projecTSI]

You will need custom stroker pistons. The rods are just the standard 4g63 rods, and then you will need a 4g64 crank. I also believe some clearancing must be done.

And the eagle stroker crank is technically the same style of crank, but is aftermarket.(obviously)

isnt the eagle crank stronger than factory 100mm cranks? I think slowboy sells them. i pretty sure they are made of forged 4340 steel. and you have to use chamferred (sp?) bearings on them.

so if i used the 84mm crank then i wouldn't have to worry about clearancing right? and if i went the 100mm then i'd have to do everything on the top at 100mm right?

 

[JayRolla]

Yes but if you went with the 84mm it will not be a stroker. You can pull a good used stroker crank from junkyards sometimes. I know that expos have 4g64's.

Why are you wanting to buy it all seperatly it will cost more in the long rung. My friend is going to by his stroker kit for 1200 and that includes everything you would need.

 

[dan2288]

well I was just looking at sbr stroker kits, and the stage 2 seems to be pretty good. I would probly go with oliver rods. How much can they hold ?

 

[stuckwithgsx]

i want to buy mine as a kit. does anyone know if building a motor if you go all performance does it compromise with reliability? i know it compromises life span of the engine. or know any places to buy a kit? i'm leaning towards an eagle crank with eagle rods and pistons probably JE or wiseco.

Not to nitpick, but if you used a 84mm crank you'd have a destroker 1880cc engine. The stock stroke is 88mm.

reliability you can't even use this word in the same sentece when it come to these cars. Ive been stranded at least 3 times since i did the 6-bolt swap. For more than a couple of days each time. Now I'm stuck at my moms house still its been a week now. be prepared for problems once everything is said and done
