Definitely F'ed up....

Now my next question is regarding stroker kits... I've read LOTS about them, and have heard good and bad things... In theory, 2.0L seems like it would make more power than the 1.8L, but at what price? I've read that you lose driveability, as it's not as good as stock above 6500 rpm, but you get tons more low-end power...

Honestly, I'm looking to make a little more power, but maintain long-term reliabilty, so I'm thinking just use the stock crank and get bigger pistons...

I'd love to go friggin crazy and build the hell out of it, and then bolt on a vortech s/c, but the wallet's not that big, ya know??

Suggestions???

 

ouch.

yea, new pistons would be nice...

You can just sleve your block to 84.mm and you will be a 2.0 like i did. your going to need a new set of pistons anyways so get rods while your at it.
