Stroker engine question

[gonen60]

can you use a stroker engine as a daily driver? if so can you do it on pumped gas 87or 93 octane? I've read in the forums that I could just take a Hydaui sonata block and bolt the two together is that correct? or is there some machiining that is needed? would it be cheaper to just get a turbo kit or to make my car into a stroker?

Alot of different questions my friend.I will answer the stroker question...(block,rods,crank,pistons)yes you can...it comes as a kit and some machinig will be required but yes you can (daily driver). I have ten thousand miles on mine.

What type of gas? do you use and does it burn more gas than your normal 2.0L engine?

 

[gurmanator]

I run 91 octane daily but 104 octane at the track(AV-GAS).As far as the gas milage goes,yes it uses little bit more fuel but I have the car tuned for daily driving but at the track I'll burn a quater tank in 10 passes(roughly)."Stroking a motor" does not have much effect on gas milage, it's the bolt-on's that have an effect.There is one other thing that effects gas milage greatly.......Ahhhhh.......Hmmmm.....OH YA.......YOUR FOOT!!!!!!!...hahahaha.

can you use a stroker engine as a daily driver?

Yes, definitely.

if so can you do it on pumped gas 87or 93 octane?

Yes, as long as it is properly tuned for that low of an octane rating.

I've read in the forums that I could just take a Hydaui sonata block and bolt the two together is that correct?

Yes, the Hyundai 2.4L block, crank, and cam gears and use the 4G63 parts for the rest.

or is there some machiining that is needed?

Standard machining applies.

would it be cheaper to just get a turbo kit or to make my car into a stroker?

It would be cheaper to turbo your existing motor. Read this.

...are you seriously running leaded aviation fuel thru your car???

...are you seriously running leaded aviation fuel thru your car???

you bet...more power.

you bet...more power.

its low lead anyways. but running 91 then mixing the 104 with it is a bit cleaner

Will I need to do alot of tuning? and Will the ECU need to be update at all?
