Engine characteristic by design
I currently own a JRSC-ed B16. I like the engine characteristic of this combination, except for the low end torque. What I'm looking to achieve is a torque curve that extends significantly lower then the B16, without sacrificing top end (too much).
I am looking to build something around the Dart/Payn block casting (because its strong and an extended deck height version is available, allowing for a good R/S ratio). I will re-use the JRSC on that block (and the B16 head). Right now, I'm having trouble selecting the right stroke. I'm tempted to drop in a 95mm stroke crank for gobs of torque, but I'm afraid top end will suffer too much. The alternative is to drop in a GSR or B20 crank (87/89mm). Is there anyone here who has "been there, done that"? Dyno results would be great, as well as any opinions you may be willing to share!
Thanks,
Mark.

Re: Engine characteristic by design (mgro)
people here don't like SC's too much...they are gonna tell you to go turbo and get a small turbo like a t3 or a T28 ....but I would never tell you to do that...
