Is reliability and durability sacrificed when you stroke the motor? Anybody know for sure?

 

bump

 

i want a stroker kit, after modding the evo a little more. i think it would be sick. but i dont know about durabilty

 

somebody chime in there are alot of them out there....

 

God I Want Strokerrrrrr

uhhhhhhhhhhh

 

I can't say for EVO, but I did that to my BMW without any problems.
EVO is known to have a strong block, so by stroking it with forges pistons, crankshaft, and connecting rods, it should be only be incresing its strength to withstand high boost and high RPM. Note that short stroking does not require to trim the cylinder wall to bigger pistons, it simply using shorter stroke and pistons, along with a different crankshaft design to increse its displacement.

 

well one thing is for sure you will need supporting mods for a stroker kit. you cant just go and buy a stock evo and put a stroker in it just FYI.

 

Yea, I am going to AMS in July, but havent decided to either build the motor, or to go all out and stroke it... I have the money to stroke it, just want some opinions. I have the money for built motor w/ ams alky kit...or just fully built stroker motor... 2.0 or 2.3...thats the question...just some insight on my driving habits... I do NOT track it, nor will I...its strictly my fun *** daily driver! Any input will be appreciated!

 

My 8 is far from stock ....I'm ready to make it even more bulletproof and fun!

 

let us know how it goes

 

Deffinetly!! Anyone wanna chime in on some suggestions?? To stroke or not to stroke on my above situations??

Thanks!

 

ok, i guess noone knows? wheres the informed ppl??

 

just a thought, try the DSM board the've been at it longer.

 

I have thought about a stroked motor but lately I have been thinking a built 2.0 that can be a real screamer and turn 9000rpm would be more fun. They both have thier ups and downs but you just have to figure out if you like bottom end or top end better.

 

Cool! I'm going with a built 2.0
