So I'm doing a NA build and I've got my valve train picked out and ready to order
But I wanted to know if I did a stroker kit with 14:1 pistons if i have to do
any other things to my block/head so i dont blow it

KARSON

Anyone?

EG6 Master

is this strictly a race engine? because their are MUCH MUCH better alternatives!!!

KARSON

well its a dd right now, but once i rebuild it then yes strictly a race engine.
but what other alternatives are you thinkin?

EG6 Master

first.....what kind of stroke were you considering?

I'm doing 84.7mm and even though my crank was machined twice and my bearings are .50mm oversize, car runs great!


I just got a 89mm crank now, and as soon as I start having bearing issues due to the fact that my crank was machined, and got no treatment etc etc I will be moving to a 82x89 with 14:1 comp.


EG6 master will most like pursuade you to run 1.6L and rev 15krpm to get some power. Though, In my simple opinion, making power out of a 1.6L is a hard job, and you would need to work your transmission and stuff to take advantage of the ridiculous powerband.


Go for a stroker and be Happy, you don't need to rev as much, cur feels much more confortable for the streets, and powerband is great.

HOW CAN U MAKE A F#CKING STATEMENT LIKE THAT????!!!!

I DIDNT EVEN SUGGEST ANYTHING OF THE SORT TO YOU (OR ANYONE ELSE) WHEN YOU DID YOUR B16A STROKER!!!

*******GO BACK AND READ YOUR THREAD VICTOR******
*******THEN COME BACK AND TELL THE OP THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT I SUGGESTED TO YOU******

if you choose not to do so, i will GLADLY expose you for the LIAR that you are by quoting posts from your VERY OWN thread.

I F#CKING DETEST LIARS!!!

i'm thinking high eighty's with new sleeves or if i done lower eightys then just use my stock ones, but havent really decieded yet, any suggestions for that?
but you know all the money i spend on all that crap, then i might as well turbo the thing lol

victor.ek4

And why would I be a liar?

If you are talking about the problems I had with my build, then I'm gonna express it here:

I had machine shops problem in the first time I assembled it. Then the crank was re-machined and the block was sleeved and mains were re-honed twice till it was perfect.

It led to a block that was shaved arround .6mm and mains that were shaved arround 1mm. THis led to a piston sitting out of the deck arround .8mm

I had to shave the piston in order to fit, and revome the guides from the oil pump to align it.

Yes, it's ****ed up, my piston to head clearance is .3mm I wonder if it's not hitting when it's hot.


BUT none of this big mess has to do with using a stroker kit. I'm going up now, 82x89 with custom pistons with a lower deck in order to fit my ****ed up block. I don't have the money to get a new one, it's expensive in my country.


Now, tell me why I'm a liar

I'd say you can't go higher than 89 stroke on this block

there is one guy on here who is an expert at building stroker B16's, his sn is crx=si on H-T. Search for some of his posts if you want more info.

IMO the best way to go is with an LS crank, B16-length rods and custom pistons with the wristpin raised just the right amount. Some stroker kits use LS-length rods, which IMO is just plain stupid, If you are going to use LS length rods, just use an LS block. The advantage a stroker B16 gives you is the characteristics that a "short-rod" motor possesses.

KARSON

thank you for the info
will consider doing that

Does anyone know how to fix a wristpin in a 97 Honda Civic EX?
