Hi all,

Tons of interest in the stroker engines for the EVO8. So much so that I went ahead and put one together and have it on the stand and ready to ship.

I don't see a problem with doing these in the future on a regular basis.

I used the Toda Stroker kit as it was priced right and available.

The kit uses a 2.4 liter crank, a set of production Mitsubishi rods and a set of nice forged coated pistons.

The kit retails for $3500 by itself. You then have to do the machine work to the block, supply main bearings, main studs, balance shaft elimination kit and assemble it.

I have the completed stroker shortblock for $3500. I do need your core back after you get the engine in and in your car. I will also sell them outright for $4,000.

Take care,

I'll have to call you later, I have a core head and a core short block (Hopefully showing in the next few days) probably interested in a package deal but I'll talk to you about this offline or in PM's..

 

We have a spare head here too, I think we have two at this point we are using to swap out for installs here at the shop. Give us a call.

4,000 put together. What is the ball park figure to have you install?

Can you please expain the positive/negative compromise with this setup? Do you recommend something other than the stock turbo?

thank you,

 

i read in a magazine article awhile back that this kit needed the pistons machined for clearance or somthing. Is this the case?? Also i hear you guys like the Eagle stuff, are they doing a kit also??? Are the stock rods adequate??? RRR

 

Does anyone have one of these installed? anyone know about the longevity of this engine and what HP levels it can produce with different turbos?

 

Sorry but for that much $$ and only get rods I'd look somewhere else. Check out Deck Mechanical or if you have extra bucks Tomei.

 

I was actually also interested in using the eagle kit if possible.. But I'll call you guys early next week, I want to make sure the core short-block makes it here without any problems before I start planning or laying out cash.

FWIW $4000 outright would make the block around $500 and thats a better price than I paid for my core short block.. and better than the going rate for them..

 

would you be able to use this kit on the stock ecu? curious...

The stock mitsu rods can handle a good amount of power. It's only the pistons that can't.

I say it's a good price.

Yes they can, but if you are going to all the trouble and expense why not make it bulletproof.

 

Because bullet-proof costs money. This is $3500 bucks built, how much is the JDM stuff your quoting? And if you want to run a 2.3L daily driver and you don't plan on running C16 and 30PSI, why spend the extra?

 

Deck's kit which runs $3545 !

 

And then machine work...

 

Add in $500-600 for the block work and don't forget the extra downtime from not having a core for them to work on. Oh, also think about the quality of work of the shop you take it to since Buschur has a lot of experince on the 4g63 you would be taking a chance at an average shop that maybe doesn't care about you returning to them.
