325ix stroker help

[nomansland92]

You can use that 81mm crank your 135mm rods and a set of Ross racing pistons from Ireland engineering and have a good compression 2.8, But it's hard to stop there haha

The oil pan, oil pump location and auxilliary shaft are different due to the awd system. You could do it I guess and it would effectively be a 2.7i stroker kit in an iX block. Thats a lot of work to change the crank, rods and pistonss. The stock ecu would work but the compression ratio would be different and tuning would not be optimal without a standalone system of some sort.

Why would you want to do this?

Well, I was just wondering if it could work, and if it would squeeze out some extra power for cheap. It was either try this for about $200 or spend about 10x that on a rebuild. Thanks for the help

I have access to a complete 2.7 stroker (eta bottom i head + all wiring), it was going to be put into a 325ic.

What do I need to do to put it in the ix?

I know the blocks are different but can I put the eta crank and rods into the ix block and use the eta pistons and the i head (they are very clean/ low mileage)? Would I be better off buying custom pistons?

Would i need to change the ecu at all?



Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
