Hello to all,
I am starting this topic cause I don't want to drive crazy David Buschur with all my questions!!!!
The man is trying hard and he already had answered me a lot of questions!
I want to ask you about which stroker kit do you prefer and why and which turbo kit and why?
I am aiming to hit 600+ bhp with my Evo IX GSR.
I alredy have some items installed and I am thinking now for a stroker kit and a turbo kit.

Searching for strokers I saw too many cranks.

-Jun,HKS and Cosworth.... (man these are pretty expensive 3000+ USD)
-Brian Crower (beautiful crank for 1800 USD I think)
-K1 crank 100mm
-OEM 4G64 crank (800 USD... I think that this is the one that most of you already choosed)

I do not know which one to choose... I think that Brian Crowers is good enough for it's price...
What is your opinion???
Which one should I choose?
Which stroker kit should I take?
Which pistons,rods,bearings??


About the turbo kits...

I am between HTA35R and HTA37R kit (I am waiting some info and price for the GT850R also...)

Which turbo kit should I buy and why?
0.82 or 1.06 housing???

-Buschur's?
-AMS?
-ETS?

Thanks in advance

P.S...
I already have...

Jun 272 camshaft kit (JUN retainers and springs)
Motec M800 OEM (full enabled)

Bump for answers....
I'll probably choose buschur's stroker and turbokit...
What your opinion about the others???
Anyone???

 

If I asked too many... then answer to that simply question...
Oliver rods OR Crower rods???
JE pistons OR Ross pistons ???

 

I say Crower/JE pistons.

Cant go wrong with either HTA

4g64 Crank will be fine

You might as well invest on a dual walboro setup also.

 

So 1 vote for Buschur's stroker kit.

 

You cant really go wrong with Jackson Auto Machine, AMS, Or Buschur really.

 

all the shops you mentioned offer great products. i would NOT recommend a BC anything because it is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum compared to the other brands/companies mentioned.

considering you are in greece, i would contact JAM, bushur, ams, etc. etc. and by a new oem shortblock (or core) have it assembled and shipped to you.

 

What about the bore size of the pistons?
Do you suggest me to go with standard bore or 0.20 ???
I have 18000 miles on my Evo...

Go with JE Pistons, you can get them direct from Buschur.

The K1 crank is good for the money...AMS has been running their billet 100mm crank in their Time Attack car for a long while. If you can't afford the billet crank, the factory crank is pretty nice.

Regarding bearings...go with Clevite or ACL.

 

So K1 crank from AMS and crower rods with JE pistons from Buschur will be the best stroker kit???

 

I do not know yet what to do.I am confused right now....
To built the 2.0 with cosworth or buschur parts or stroke it with buschur parts????
Same price for parts...
I will buy also a cosworth head in the next few months and I am thinking for HTA35R or HTA37R turbo kit from bushur....

Thanks....

 

what do you want to use the car for?

if you want high hp and a lot of revs build the 2.o

if you want low end torque and quick acceleration build the 2.3

 

If the only difference of the stroker kit is 500 RPM less turbo lag then I'll probably go for 2.0lt built.
How much will be the spool difference on a HTA35R or HTA37R?
Does anyone knows the exactly RPM of these 2 turbos full spool?

 

my opinion is, go with a buschur or jam built short block 2.3 of course.

and either an ams or buschur turbo kit.

or you can make your own kit up using a t04z t3 flange turbo (i think)

on a buschur/shearer/ams manifold.
