how much is it rougthly to buy and fit, and with supporting mods what power can you expect. Also anyone who has fitted a 2.5 ltr stroker kit what do they think

 

£1100 approx from the US for a 2.5 litre assembled short motor (block, rods, pistons). Mine seems happy so far with 10000 miles at 434 BHP and a further 800 at about 450 BHP. Some think the setup I have is only robust to 350 BHP and would change the pistons +- rods.

Extra costs - gaskets, plus supporting mods (fuel, intercooling, breathing, turbo).

 

What quarter mile times you get?
How much to get the kit fitted.

Thanks

 

12.2 at 121 with 2.0 60' but also did 1.8 60', so could have done 12.0 had the best launch been hooked up with the rest of the run. This is with full weight, road tyres at normal pressure, 6 speed gearbox with normal road style gearchanges. Judge the performance by the terminal, I don't drive it hard enough on the 1/4 out of lack of skill and brutality so the ET suffers.

How much? - it is just an engine swap, but the additional mods are what cost £££££

 

John what rev limit r u running on your engine ?

7500 for the start of the soft cut now, hard cut at 7700.

I rarely take it that high unless I am next to a sportsbike.

blitz induction kit
de cat
down pipe
fmic
greddy boost controler
greddy ecu
uprated leads and plugs

this is on a 98 prodrive wr sport that has full ppp

getting fuel pump and fcd soon what else do i need apart from bigger turbo and stroker kit.

 

gearbox?
brakes?

 

Got brakes upgraded. Will i need a uprated clutch

 

IMO yes

 

Yes and its great

LOL!

What do you want to know on it? Its very torquey!

 

Yes, if you asking this I take it you havent got an oil pump etc. and your Greddy ECU I dont think will cope with the increased capacity etc....

I might be wrong tho...

 

Won't the injectors be maxed out as well?

 

Looking for as much info as possible on it please. What power gains people with it done have had, everything that will need upgraded, what its like to drive, insurance,fuel consumption and any other useful info.

 

If you do the whole engine with heads and cams...

Everything needs upgrading
It's good, but can be a handful to drive
Insurance is costly
Fuel consumption is same if driven in same way
It's bleedin expensive.
It's fecking fast.

 

In a nutshell

 

See the thread in Group Buys section. Lots of info.

Bottom line is that 2.5 has a lot going for it in terms of both big power and good driveability. But you do need to upgrade a lot of expensive parts.

Thanks for all the info

 

it should be noted though that you can just use it with a smallish turbo and gain a nice lag free car which is fun to drive although not devastatingly fast.
