From what I know with a 95mm crank in an NA set up they beat up the bearings and need to be changed often, in a turbo motor I would imagine even more so. I had a 95mm Eagle and was gonna do a motor with it BUT just chose the 89mm LS crank.

Have you had the car running and pulled a plug wire off each cylinder to find out what cylinder it is in yet? May need to drop the oil pan and check the rod bearings out

95mm cranks show a lot of bearing wear with low mileage in n/a motors. I would never do one in a turbo engine.

I think Endyne talked about this in his motor build in Honda Tuning Mag, he said the 95mm strokes show alot of side loading and bearing wear in every engine he built, he ended up going with a 92 or 93mm stroke.
