After I get my car paid off I'm going to look into a 2.3 or 2.4. I don't know if I would want to skimp on price though. I would probably just buy a BJ's complete engine top to bottom.

 

Eagle makes great stuff. Looking forward to this!

 

Doesn't john sheppard's Talon run Eagle rods.

 

Is there a reason why most stroker kits for the Evo are 2.3L kits opposed to 2.4L? Clearance issues?

 

$2000 is dirt cheap. AEBS Racing 4.3 liter stroker kit with forged in internals for 350Z is $7,850 plus installation. Probably looking at near $10,000 total.

What kind of gains does the 2.3 liter stroker get in the EVO. Since that is a 15% increase in displacement, is a 15% increase in power, a reasonable guess? That would be 312 crank hp without changing anything else. But, I assume, the stroker kit is designed to let you run higher boost on stronger internals. Are the pistons forged?

 

Although eagle claims their products are made of 4130, I remember something along the lines of them getting their steel from korea or china & the quality isnt what one associates with american 4130 chromoly.

The tolerances are very loose with respects to being all over the place. So if you measure everything & it all checks out, great! Now if you plastic guage your engine, you stand to put together a time bomb.

I have heard a lot of happy people using their product.

However my dad is a 1st hand user who's rod journals for his 500 c.i. mopar was +/- .003! The rods were all over the place as well!

Needless to say he got his money back & bought different components.

Buyers beware!

 

I'd imagine it wouldn't really let you run any higher boost than what the stock turbo or even bigger turbo's are already capable of putting out on the 2.0 L. It would just let the turbo (esp. larger ones) spool a hell of a lot quicker.

 

You would be able to run extreamly more boost with this kit or any stroker kit. Not on the stock turbo becouse it cant handle any more but with a good turbo (gt35/40r) you could push i would say upwords of 30psi. It all depends on the craftsmanship of the products but eiter way you will be able to push more boost then stock. Plus you have a bigger displacement giveing you a chance to use a bigger turbo without the worry of lag. STROKER KITS ARE THE S***!

 

so when I get a stroker kit would my rev limiter be less??? I mean now its about 7600 rpm will it be 7000 rpm or what?

 

Az3ar,

Stroker kits do mean lower revs compared to 2.0l built engines but you can rev a decent kit to at least 7600 rpm's so your redline would not be effected. I'll take low end torque and quicker turbo spool over high revs on a street car any day.

 

I would have to disagree. Just becouse you have a stroker kit does not mean you are going to rev out lower. If you have valtrain work and a reprogrammed ecu to remove your revlimiter or at least up your revlimiter you will be fine. A stroker kit is just changing the bore and stroke of the engine giving its displacement which has nothing to do with your valvtrain. There is a reason the professionals imports guys run stroked engines and are still reving out to 9K-10K. Just my 0.02

 

Sorry i read your post wrong. I thought you were saying it would lose revs. Agian my appoligies.

 

easy on me chris

 

4k complete, not 4k for just the installation.. machine work and assembly costs almost 2K.. And FWIW I Do most of my own work..

 

LOL sorry man. Everywhere i go there you are.haha.. I think we are gonna have twin cars the way its looking. How is the Green, Brown stuff in the over flow treating you..haha.. jk bro! Lets see who gets the stroker kit first now. You got my on the turbo kit!
