Got ya. I think that anyone doing a 1.8 build would be silly to not spend the extra $1200. If this comes to fruition.

Of course. If you are already putting money into the engine you are probably after serious gains, another 1200 bucks shouldn't be a huge deciding factor especially for something that opens more possibilities.

$1200 is rediculous honestly. Just send your crank to Castillo Cranks in CA and let them weld the journals, machine them, and renitride it at a much lower cost. Tom and I have discussed this lightly a couple mornings ago. It would be way cheaper and probably better quality being a oem crankshaft.

Thank you. That's what I need to hear. That sounds like a lot of nails in this coffin...

I will eventually rebuild the '01 motor for big power and am slowly purchasing parts for that day. My plan is to purchase parts before I need them, rather than scrounge once I do need trhem. I too would be willing to spend the dollars on this.

Also, if anyone hasn't heard of Castillo Cranks before they are basically THE best when it comes to modding crankshafts of any kind. The icing on the cake is that they have EXTENSIVE experience with import cranks as well. The thing is that it is on you to know exactly what you need before you send it to them, and expect to wait a while to get it back.

So it looks like someone posted it would be about 2500 with this crank, rods and pistons.

I know I will have to rebuild my engine in a year or 2. If this stroker kit was available I would def get it. Why the **** build the 1.8 when I can build it and make it bigger!?!?! More of a usable power curve for that price sounds awesome. **** NA

Since I considered sending FM 3.6k a few months ago knowing the stroker was going up to 4k, I would send a check tomorrow to get this for 2k.

Then it would just be a matter of does it go in the '94 or the '01

Well, if it's half price, why not get two? One for each =
Actually 2 of these kits would still come in under 1 FM kit. You might have enough for 2 kits and an ARP hardware set. :gay:
No BS...

Think 2 choices, one low CR for turbo and one high CR for NA. Like 8.5 and 11.0.

All kidding aside, it would go in the '01 turbo because a turbo is where the power is. The 94 SC is just for fun.

I like the idea. 2k for the whole shebang sounds like a good deal to me.
