I am in the process of rebuilding my engine i did have a 2.3 stroker running a 35r which i was more than happy with

Today i was talking to a engine builder and he mentioned a 2.0l long rod using stroker pistons and 156mm rods on a 2.0l crank

Is anybody running this spec and what are they like the car is mostly used as a road car and what would be the advantages and disadvantages over a 2.3

 

im pretty sure long rod motors can rev higher than a built 2.0 in general, like 10-11k rpm. DTMotorsports builds a 2.0 long motor.

 

Magnus uses 156 and 162mm rods, apparently they work great for high revs.

 

Thanks for the comments guys any more comments welcome

 

Using a nominally longer rod (e.g. 156mm) does not increase the safe, usable rpm range in this context. The difference between a 150 and 156mm rod is only 4%, which is minimal. Piston speed, which is the largest determining factor in bottom end durability with respect to rpm, is unaffected by changes in rod length.

I have a long rod 2.0 presently, which uses a 156mm rod and 2.3 stroker piston. I did it because I prefer the slightly longer rod ratio and shorter piston. I wouldn't bend over backward to follow suit.

 

Thanks for your input Ted i think i am going to stick with a stroker as it seems more suited to the purpose i use the car for
