Hey R3V-
Currently have a myriad of parts in my garage that I can make a stroker out of quite easily, and since I am selling off my 24v stuff I am entertaining the idea.
Option 1:
M52b28 Crank, 130mm ETA Rods, late "i" pistons (84mm bore)
Results: 2.8L, 9.7:1 if block shaved down 5mm
Upsides: cheap+easy
Downsides: refitting an 84mm piston in a stock sized bore and lowest displacement
Poor R/S Ratio w/stubby 130mm rods
Crank/Block need to be clearanced due to large couterweights
Option 2:
M52b28 Crank, 135mm Rods, IE Mahle Pistons (85mm bore)
Results: 2.9L, 9.8:1 compression
Upsides: nice set of pistons, best R/S of the bunch
Downsides: same/less money to go 3.1L
Crank/Block need to be clearanced due to large couterweights
Option 3:
S52/M54b30 Crank, 135mm Rods, Custom Pistons (either IE or Cp VAC Pistons), 85mm bore
Results: 3.1L (really 3.051L), compression of your choosing (10.5:1)
Upsides: same cost as going 2.9L
Smaller couterweights on S52 crank than M52
Downsides: I'm assuming this pushes the wrist pin up into ring territory? Oiling/longevity issues potentially?
Intermediate shaft needs to be clearanced.
24v 135mm rods supposedly clear fine+are lighter, but this config with m20 135mm rods needs clearanced
Supporting mods:
I have a Schrick 284/272 and am working with John @WOT to figure out a cylinder head. IE Longtubes, RR throttle body. SSSquid tune on 1.3 ECU for now until standalone.
Questions:
What would you do? Option 1 above, I have everything. Both Options 2+3 all I'd have to buy are pistons.
IF you chose Option 3, what pistons are best to work with?
I have seen CP: https://store.vacmotorsports.com/cp-...ank-p2921.aspx
And then whatever IE sells on their site (maybe ross?)
Thanks for any thoughts you may have-
