I have since gone from the 2.5L to 2.35L and had the engine bay sprayed whilst the engine was out. Can't decide whether to put the 2.5 in the daily driver or not at the moment. I also have a GT35R turbo in the garage for it but cannot decide whether to stick with current setup as is feels so nice at 500ish. Simon |

Is that a 2.35 stroker kit ?
If so do you get an occasional puff of smoke on start up, which I think is due to the extra stroke exposing an oil way by the gudgeon pin or sumink !!!! Thinking of building a stroker, but not sure I could tolerate the embarassing smoke on start. |

its not a stroker kit as such.. in that I didn't buy a kit.. but yes it is a 2.5 crank and custom rods and pistons to suit in an ej22T (closed deck 97mm block with oil squirters).
The block was machined to take the newer crank and I have 14mm WRC spec head studs and the 2nd wildest cams I have ever played with.. lol I have carrillo rods, je pistons. I went over board really and just went for best of the best.. it is 600+ capable.. cossie baffle plate, baffled sump, cossie cambelt guide, kevlar cambelt, vernier pulleys, cermaic coated headers, turbo is standard fitment but I rotated it anyway.. I don't get oil smoke no.. this engine doesn't use a drop.. yes the oil control rings pass the gudgeon pin inspection holes.. but doesn't appear to be an issue.. as to embarressing - the twin plate clutch is very very loud on this one (os giken) and the cams mean an idle of 1200rpm.. currently I am altering the driveway so it gets parked up on a raised bit of the drive which means diagonally two wheels off the ground spinning or a run up lol.. neighbours love me.

Simon,
I posted on 22B but maybe you can help here. What would you recommend for a rebuild STi 8 block, that currently has good crank and block but knackered pistons. I would like to go largest capacity possible for the extra torque. considering doingitmyself as would like to pick up some mechanical skills. Done most things over the years as you know but have never stripped or rebuilt a block. If you wanna start this as another thread in technical, we can do that. |
#25

|

2.5 out
baffled sump cossie baffle plate kevlar belt and cossie belt guide version 6 ported and polished head with adaptors and heat spacers to convert to version 1 inlet manifold front entry version 1 inlet manifold widdenned to fit above, billet fuel rails adjustable cam wheels etc ATi oil filled damper crank wheel engine bay masked engine bay sprayed in she goes, you can see the nervous evo6 wondering what I was going to do to that next crap pic of ceramic coated headers boost v bhp |

If you don't do many miles and want torque go 2.5 Simon |

excellent read mate, got any more plans?
|
#30
|
|||
|
|||
as always.. wider track and I have a GT35R in the garage along with twin scroll tubular manifold and rotated up and downpipe.. 600bhp potential
|
#31
|
||||
|
||||
600bhp sounds like a nice round figure
|
#32
|
