I personaly am not a crower fan because of problems with their products. Though more displacement = more power generaly speaking. Honda cranks do hold up pretty good unless your putting down some insane hp. I wouldn't bore you engnine on stock sleeves you just asking for it to crack. Also you should probaly more descriptive about your setup so people can help you. There is a lot of information already on honda tech if you look around a lil.

ugh.

if you want more displacement, go with the stroker kit.

if you want to save money and keep the stock stroke, keep the stock crank

I dont know what the crower kit goes for but you could always use an ls crank and rods with custom pistons for an oem stroker kit?

So if money is no problem then pick a good shop and tell them you want the sickest setup possible and start shoveling out some cash?

I would stay away from the strokers if you are building a turbo motor. Sleeve the block and bore to 84mm and go with an LS crank, Crower/Manley/Pauter rods for an LS, and some good forged pistons.

You should send it out to get sleeved first. Golden Eagle, AEBS, Benson, Darton are just a few that come to mind.

stock crank. have the motor sleeved. you said money isnt an issue so theres nothing more to discuss. send it to get it sleeved and then take it to a machine shop and let them do the rest.
