Is a 95mm stroke on a single cam to much to handle with 11.5:1 cp/r pistons on a daily drver? I know a guy named Dave hickman in town that will biuld this motor for me and put around 180-190 hp out of a single cam. (auto-x I want the light weight of a single cam.) Has anyone ever heard of him? he had a 9 secind hatch with a b16 and now he has a h22 hatch stock bottom end running 11.5 ets. His companys website is http://www.dh-racing.com. I was wondering what you guys thought of this idea. thanks for any input.

 

A 95mm stroke on a single cam scares me. Especially on stock sleeves (ALOT of side loading). As it is, D-series motors are VERY stroke heavy (75mm bore, 90mm stroke) and have a rather poor rod ratio (1.52:1). With the already long stroke increased to 95mm, things are not going to be pretty in terms of side loading and piston speed. I would consider a 95mm D-series motor to be more of a race-only affair than a reliable daily driver motor.

 

'01+ D17 = 94.4 stroke OEM (1.44 r/s)

 

search DH-racing, dave hickman, etc in the archives. you will get your answer.

YIKES!!!! Then again, this motor was never made to rev high. By the way, has the deck NOT been raised on this motor (compared to older D-series)?
