I believe the modification to the pistons is nothing too in depth, and any experienced engine builder would be able to pull it off.
4agze pistons are NOT forged, however they are definately strong. MR2 guys claim 300whp on stock pistons is not uncommon. The only issue I found with this stroker setup is that other than tomei (who might have discontinued it) no one sells a 81.5mm bore headgasket.
Using the rb26 rods and crank with 81.5mm pistons gives you very slightly under a 2.4L. I was planning on using rb25 rods and crank, with 4agze pistons, which would yield around 2.3L.
I wanted to do this stroker pretty badly, but it is pretty damn in depth, and I didnt want to sit around and wait for parts, wait for the machine shop, wait for everything.... I want to drive my car. I think thats the final determining factor with the stroker, and why no one ends up doing it.
