interested in 2.3l de stroke kit

[slow acr]

Just a fyi i have a 98 acr with srt swap... Not a srt

[Racerxvsspeedracer]

FM Rods
6.160In
=1.55 Rod ratio still not there but its better than stock.

Ok It's doesn't matter.
You still don't need to rev past 8,500. This motor will make more than enough power,and still have a great powerband at that level.

[D-SRT]

Even 8500 is a pretty ridiculous number unless it's a 72mm turbo or something of the sort.

The more custom shit you gotta make (crank, rods, pistons), the more expensive it'll be. Built motors and big horsepower = something is bound to fail at one point or another. Getting replacement parts for a custom bottom end will be a PITA.

Why can't you rev under 8,500 and make power and break records? No need for this 10k Honda crap, I could see if you're running All Motor... But we are using turbos different world, and ways to get there.
People that want to Rev to 10k+ will need short stroke,big bore,good Rod Ratio and low piston speeds.

With our motor we need to set it up different.
We have big stroke, so It's long rod + bigger bore raise CR and good amount. Keep Rev limited to 8,500 which should be more than enough. Turbo selection will be the hardest, but lots to choose from.

Wait, you're wanting to INCREASE the revolutions per minute, but LOWER the "piston speed" keeping the same stroke? Please explain how this works.

Also, this "10K Honda crap" you speak of is a small part of the reason that Chris Miller and some of the other Honda/Acura guys are horsefucking everyone who gets in their path at the track, and have been for awhile now. Since when are more RPMs a bad thing? Assuming the engine is still capable of being effecient of course...

What I am saying is you should shit can the idea, of the Srt4 Reving to 10k ...unless u want a grenade motor. It doesn't need to rev like a Honda to make power.
I'm saying with our huge stroke and poor Rod ratio, the best and cheapest way to raise rev limits, is to get a better rod ratio. Using a shorter Rod isn't going to fix that ,and a smaller mm crank would...but there isn't one.
So It's using a longer Rod and work with what we have, 8,500 is pleanty of Rpm!
Honda and other cars can Rev to 10k because they have a short stroke, and good Rod ratios. Let's take a b16 motor just shits

B16A PR3: ROD LENGTH: 5.290” STROKE: 3.031” BORE SIZE: 3.189 “(81MM) COMPRESSION HEIGHTS:1.180” DOME HEIGHT: .098” WEIGHT: 299 GRAMS

= 1.75 Rod ratio
F1 cars are 2:1 or over... like I said before you want high revs big bore,short stroke,good Rod ratio, low piston speeds.

More Rpm is not a bad thing, its just not needed on the Srt-4 motor. People need to think outside the box here. The Honda guys are getting better 60' and have more $ and time than the Neon crowd.
It's time for real change here... It can be done with a 8,500 rpm, I don't even think you need that high. It's not a problem for the Srt4 motor to make power or Tq, its putting it to the ground!

Uh ok, got it. Just shoot Kevin W. a PM and let him know he should shitcan the idea of revving his car to 10k.

I agree with your logic that a long rod 2.4 revving to 8500 is PLENTY, but do you know what you're talking about?

What you're doing by de-stroking the engine is decreasing the distances the pistons actually travel.

I will shorten this up....

Is it practical to build an engine with the mechanical strength and the flow modifications to effeciently rev that high if you're on any kind of a budget? No.

Can it be done and be effective? Yep

Will the OP really going through with this? Probably not.

I agree with D-SRT, revving even 8k+ is getting pretty serious.

The red sled only revs to 8100, so why does KW want 10k. Or why would anyone want more, I will give the ratios needed for a price haha

[Racerxvsspeedracer]

LinkLow lmk when you figure out what you want to ask. So I can answer you, I know what I'm talking about lots of research.

OP, if you want to build a 2.3 and rev to the moon, do it. If it were that much better than the 2.4 or higher, all the big boys in the neon scene would have de-stroked engines right now.

You anit telling me anything, and you didnt help the O.P. with that^ post lmao

[slow acr]

But link low seems to be the only one to agree racer

Reguardless im still trying.to see if.anyone sells a destroking kit

Desttoking it.will be the only reason i rev it.. if no one sells a kit i prolly wont do it.il just do a long rod settup

Reguardless this thread wasnt IF u gus.wld destroke ur motor it was if.u knew any.companies that made a kit

[slow acr]

Ok 8500 moght be enough...

But if my settup is STILL MAKING POWER at 8500 obv u wanna rev higher to keep going... And de stroking... Or have.kevins crank is the safest way to.rev that high

[kevinwarren240]

First off people that don't know how The Srt motor reacts ie, spool, transient response to a big turbo that has the proper back pressure shouldn't try to advise anyone what to rev to. That's the trouble with this forum anymore people that haven't done it telling people that want to try other things, then act like srt4 gurus because they read a post or bolted on a turbo and made 400hp and automatically got a degree in bs. Get out there try new things you would be surprised what actually works instead of trying to read about it. The rod ratio isn't horrible it is the stock crank flex even nitrided hell the h22 Honda gets revved to 10k and they are a 1.49 ratio I believe.


Original poster keep at it trying to be different no need to conform to anyone especially people that say something but never done anything themselves. Ps ask redsled what he really revs

It's called power, when my engine, head, cam combo carries power to 10k rpm and puts it in the cfm/airflow island of the compressor map at the correct pr away from surge line and corresponds to the proper lb/mn im looking to flow that's why I do it. Not because it's cool or Honda do it that are fast. Do something different and get real world results then we can have a debate on why to do it or not.

[Boostinfamily]

doesn't redsled actually rev out past 10K? like 10,500 or something like that?
