2.2L Stroker Kit
Cosworth will definitely take some punishment --- maybe more than the others, but MAN -- it's going to cost you. Especially if you buy a crate motor. If money were no object, that's the Uber-engine for you. Since I'm not made of cash though, I would definitely check into the AMS 2.3RR --- should be all you'd ever TRULY need.
AMS 2.3RR
its only about 1500 dollars difference from the cossie 2.2 crate engine...
...and at that money levels i dont think that the 1500 dollars is a big deal... if you are willing to spend 15-20 K on a full engine (shortblock, head, turbo kit, etc etc) plus transmission then the 1500 dollars seem pocket-change....
Cosworth + Eric Hsu = Why buy anything else?
"What a waste of a perfectly good connecting rod. I had to cut it for the sake of quality control and research and development though. I’m sending it out to our lab to do a material compositional analysis, hardness profile, bulk hardness testing, and a microstructural analysis. I bet you don’t see Eagle or those other 15 brands of piece of $hit made in China rod manufacturers doing this. Or even any of the American made rods. This is one of the reasons why Cosworth parts are expensive. You can be damn sure you’ll be getting a good part that will not fail on you though. Don’t forget people - when it comes to cars, you pay for what you get (most of the time…)." - Eric Hsu's blog
He may talk alot of **** and big-game, but he can cause he backs it up. Look at his XS Skyline.

Thats all great and everything, but there are a lot of other shops and brands who have been dealing with 4g63's for a lot longer than cosworth, that build reliable parts that have been getting the job done for decades. So AFAIC i'll keep the money i would've spent on cosworth and use it as a down payment on a house. With all the money i'd save i probably could too.
Also, to explain what I am trying to say better try this scenario...I have witnessed statements on this board saying that JAM, a well-respected 4g63 player, makes a head that will outflow the Cosworth product...While this may be true, the heads designed for the JAM application may only be beneficial on a motor with a much larger turbo...Cosworth components are able to be used to see performance benefits for even the guy who wants to stick with a less-powerful setup (or even stock turbo)...While flow may be better with the head on a 37r setup, for example, the Cosworth will still see gains but with what they consider a fair safety margin...To some, rebuilding motors and replacing failed components isn't the issue (some would rather *****-out for power, to make posts to prove what these components are capable of doing)...That's cool, but what about the few of us who buy quality because we know we are getting better than OEM reliability...That is why there is a price difference, and it is well justified for the level of safety and state-of-mind that is included with expensive components.
i am so looking forward to this kit and the price is good
