I am needing to do a rebuild on my motor, i ran a compression test and it cam back 115,125,150,150 and the car runs really badly.

I was looking at stroker kits and saw a 2.0 stroker? would that be worth doing or would i be better off going with a 2.3 stroker, My mods list is current and i will be using all the parts over. I plan on going with a holset hx35w down the road and taking out my HKS 264 cam and putting in another 272.

Any suggestions on what route i should try would be great:)

you can't stroke a 2.0 up to a 2.0 thats just silly, now going with 2.3 is smart or maybe even 2.4 but there are pros and cons. Type in stroker in the search and you will be amazed at the zillion threads/builds about it.

This site is filled with countless tech info and don't appreciate you not searching, plus Lando is already mad at me for telling people off about reasking questions that have already been asked without giving them an answer.
 
correct if your stroking the motor youll have more displacement. Id go with the 2.3 :hellyeah:. Or just build another 2.0 and boost the crap out of it.

Agreed. You really need to decide on what you want out of the motor and what kind of a budget you will have to work with. You could build a stoker or build a very strong 2.0 and boost the crap out of it or build a very strong stroker and boost the crap out of. Just gotta make some decisions and do some research so you know what you are getting into.
 
I think someone from SBR had a post about them using stroked pistons and long rods to make the piston/rod ratio crazy good so you could rev to the moon and back and have no problems.
 
Pistons with the wrist pin moved up 6mm are commonly called "stroker" pistons in the DSM community because they are used in the 2.3 stroker conversions. Using those pistons with an 88mm stroke crank allows 156mm rods instead of the stock 150mm.

The 156mm rods improve the rod ratio to1.77 from the stock 1.70. The improved rod ratio has the same peak piston acceleration rates at 8040 RPM that the stock 4G63 at 8000 RPM. A slight improvement but not "to the moon".

See the table at http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/str...acement-various-combinations-bore-stroke.html for other combinations of stroke and rod length.


Personally I would not call such a version a "stroker" because stroke is determined solely by the crankshaft. If you still have an 88mm crank then it is not a stroker.
