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.

 

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...

 

you want high compression, and biggest displacement for big low end...
