just because someone makes it doesnt mean its a good idea.

ALWAYS remember that.

the stroker kit isn't a bad idea. In the end, thats more horsepower your car will be able to handle without breakin

do you understand the principals of a rod stroke ratio and piston speeds?

I understand that when you stroke it, your thining the cylinder walls and other stuff which will increase displacement. and that your also beefing up your internals cuz your getting pistons. and i know that you want to have lower compression pistons if your gona run turbo. Im unfamiliar with the rod stroke ratio tho

lol, then dont take offence to this but do some reading/research before you reccomend a stroker kit again.the ka already has close to an ideal rod ratio but stroking it only causes the potential for block explosion due to the increased stresses.also stroking refers to changing the length of the rod throw, not the piston bore.

and overstroking an engine will only lead to shortened life and decreased reliability.

not to mention a much lighter wallet for almost no gain.
