since my bottom end has started knocking being looking at my options to what to do, thought about doing it the cheap ways of just replacing the crank but since the engine is in bits i might aswell put new rods and pistons in

so found this

Subaru Stroker Kit by JUN

would this be a good buy?

i was thinks of adding a few other bits like

vf35 turbo
fmic
sti injectors
walbro pump
FPR
HKS manifold
already got blitz nur spec R

would a remap on standerd ECU be up to the job or would i need stand alone?

what that be a good setup with the stroker kit?

 

get your self on the phone and chat to engine tuner, they built my 2.1 and a few others on here as well

 

yeah going to my local one on saturday just looking for ideas to take up to him to see what he thinks is the best route

 

might need bigger than a VF35 mate!!!!
thats the standard turbo on sti type uk IIRC...

 

are they not good for around 350 ish bhp?

 

You dont need that depending on what power you want, that will increase your insurance as its an increase of cubic capacity on your engine, just go shop here>>>

And the kit the OP linked to would appear to add 2 cylinders as well

 

in response to you original question regarding standard ecu.. will depend on what year the car is.. 99 onwards then yes can be remapped and well upto the job

yeah 2000 plate classic

my thought behind puting to stroker kit in instead of standard is that later on in the year or next year if i want to up the power with new/ bigger turbo ect i would have to rebuild the bottom end again as the engine in will not be up to the job,

if i were to go down this route i would be runnign mid 300s for about half a year or so the look at uprating gear box and clutch, and start casing more power at some point

and the bottom end could haddle it all day long with out breaking a sweat

 

cost to do a stroker is not really any different to a forged two litre so makes sense

 

i know the power output wont be huge but i sould see abit on bottom end torque which would also hide abit of the lag from the turbo? or is that wrong?

 

it will spool earlier and give more torque yes

 

And make sure you have a 754 gearbox too, or factor one into your costs

 

is that the box out of the type R? is it stronger? what power/ torque can it handle?

 

I'd interested to know what box this is as well.

 

If you are supplying parts then have a look on lateral Performance's site, much better price for a 2.1 stroker than the Jun

 

Check with your insurance, it will go up if you increase the engine capacity (and if your young you may not even get insured )
