stroker engine build couple of questions

[3kgt2nv]

Ok been reading but want to make sure I know what im talking about before I put the plastic to work.

Im building a 2.3 stroker for my 6 bolt.

from the looks of it I will need to buy the following parts

eagle 100mm forged crank
manley 2.3L stroker pistons
eagle rods

I have acl tri-metal berrings new in box
I have arp head studs new in box

The block will be decked, ground for the crank clearance, hot tanked/baked, and bored over if needed.

I know there are other rod/piston combos but I can put this together for about 1360 for parts vs spending like 1500-2300 at a vendor for the same parts.

A lot of it depends on what your hp goals are. I believe a stock 2.4 crank will hold around 500-600hp. As far as the stroker goes, thats all you need

You COULD save alot of money and go with a 4g64 crank, I know it can hold way more than 600.
But it looks like eveything else is right.
Not sure what exactly your question is though?

 

[3kgt2nv]

A new crank for a 4g64 is about the same price as the eagle crank from what ive seen.

I wouldnt want to do a build and beat on a 100k mile used crank even if it is in spec.

My question was did i miss anything that I needed to run a stroker set up. I thought I had it all but I wanted to double check.

 

[paultheninja]

Although I thought eagle cranks were around $500? A lot of people are running mitsu cranks with no problems. Other than that, looks good

 

[3kgt2nv]

they are around 580ish. the cheapest ive seen on a new 4g64 crank is around 600ish from jnz

 

[paultheninja]

I know you can get a perfect mitsu crank for 200 generally. Thats what I'm running.

 

[3kgt2nv]

im guessing that they are remaned and not new. Im not looking to take a chance on a crank that might be ok.

and I could go to a junk yard and get a crank for 200 that might be good also.

 

[paultheninja]

Theres nothing wrong with remand cranks, just a personal preference. If you want the extra security go for it. I was on more of a budget, and the extra 300 bought me dsmlink

 

[3kgt2nv]

had a bad experience with a remaned crank once before so i am kinda wary about them.

 

[paultheninja]

Grab the eagle then. Your build looks solid up to 700whp (depending on what eagle rods). Have fun with all the low end trq, its a blast!

You just need to find a 4G64, from a car that you know wasn't beaten up, like a seventh gen Galant, they are almost always in good shape. I don't know if you'll be able to find one that is 6 bolt, but maybe this photo could be some motivation to look for a used crank, could save you a lot of money. I picked up the complete motor that this 4G64 crank came out of for $150. This was just an initial polish on that one journal.

 

[3kgt2nv]

that look good. but even ebay only turned up a bc stroker for a 4g64 6 bolt

 

[wkmitsu]

Yeah what you would want to look for is a 89-91 Hyundai Sonata motor. They came with a 6 bolt 4G64. I bet you could pick it up for cheap if you managed to find one.

 

[rlacasse1]

Looks good.

I would try and find a used crank though, because I'm just like that. I will look for the best bang for my buck. But you will need the crank out of a g4cs, not a 4g64.

It's called a G4CS, not a "6 bolt 4G64".

I would think a 6 bolt 4G64 crank would work for him if he found one. A 4G63 block with an 85.5 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 150 mm rod would make a 2.3.

It's called a G4CS, not a "6 bolt 4G64".

I see, thank you for the correction.

 

[3kgt2nv]

Ill take a look at the local pick and pull for a g4cs motor and pul the crank and see how it looks. Otherwise I will just go eagle crank and save time

 

[rlacasse1]

That's the route I would take. I would first try the G4CS, but they're a little difficult to find. Just look for a 89-91 Sonata.

If that doesn't work then go with the Eagle Crank.

I know our pic and pulls sell the cranks for like 30 bucks, and the entire engine for 125.

 

[3kgt2nv]

my pick and pull has a crap ton of cars but they are kinda pricey. ahhh the joys of living in new york.

If you get a used crank or reman'd be sure to have it magnafluxed. Used cranks aren't bad as long as it's not cracked!

 

[3kgt2nv]

thanks for the tip but useless for me. went to the pick and pull today and every car that had a g4cs in it is missing the crank for some reason. i wonder who needed that many cranks

 

[yepes281]

I got my crank for $80 haha
But if youve had problems with reman cranks before, then i see your concern.
But as long as its magnafluxed you should be good to go. I know rock auto sells them for about $200 as well. I just picked mine up from someone on tuners in the classifieds.

Eagle 100mm crank for 509.

 

[paultheninja]

I thought extreme paid sold a crank for 300$. Topline or something like that

 

[3kgt2nv]

Not in a 100mm stroke. They only have it in 88 mm which I don't need.
