True, this is a turbo forum, however not everyone wants (or needs) to run FI.

The biggest advantage to the stroker is torque. If the torque increase meets the needs of a driver (buyer), w/o the complexity and added maintenance of an FI solution, there is a market.

Additionally, in more specialized FI application, the stroker has posibilities as well. If FMs set up wasn't as expensive (and the only option at the time), I would have included it in my build. (Imagine having that crank knife-edged, lightened and balanced...)

I would have mine cut and lightened.

I am thinking 9:1 for CR for turbo app. I know CA sucks, but I dont want to sacrifice spool time. A big reason I am also interested is the 2.0 spooling faster because of the displacement..

Either way its still legit

Our motors are undersquare already... Seems like more bore would be much more beneficial than more stroke. Wetsleeves anyone?

no room. as it is, the 2L requires a huge bore to get the last .1L

Seems neat. I'm not on the market for this anytime soon, but if this had been available when I had the engine apart putting new pistons it would have made a lot of sense, especially if the 2k included the special pistons (assuming they were comparable quality to Wiscos, which I doubt from China). It would basically have turned a 3k build into a 4k build.

If someone was willing to throw in oversized valves while they had the head off, you could end up with a very street driveable big turbo build for not too much extra.

Am I the only person who uses this site on their phone? I was going off the Today's Threads feature. Dunno why it bright me to an 11 year old thread. I'll try and be more careful.

I wish they would fire the moron(s) at IB who built and/or maintain the mobile site. It's literally the worst thing to happen to MT since the beginning of time.

First rule of using this site on your phone: Disable mobile view, because it's a smoldering trash fire engineered by baby killers.

That is, if you can even get to that option fast enough before the ridiculous amount of ads completely locks up your browser and covers your screen.
