Ive seen stroker kits for sale witch are ALOT of money and work but I know for a fact that it would destroy a KA. Sorry, its not up for debate right now and I dont want this to turn into another one of those retarded threads were everyones arguing about get a this or that. If I wanted a KA I wouldnt own 2 SRed cars so stfu and stay the **** out.
Back to the 2.2 idea, Karmakaze.... so you bored it out to 90mm over stock... 86mm? something like that? Im no engine builder and im trying to learn so really all info on how to do this, parts, and were to obtain them would be good.
BTW, i will not be building this myself, I will be assisting my friend who works for a respectable shop so that I can learn from the experience.
correct, i bored it out to 90mm from 86mm.
parts include90mm cometic head gasket90mm 9.0CR CP pistonsEagle RodsDarton Sleeves (you can not bore the stock sleeves this large)
also recommended:arp main studsarp head studs
labor was $400 to sleeve and bore it IIRC and parts were about $1400.
