Hey guys

I wanted to know if anyone of you have ever build a stroker A14, but not using the A15 crank to increase the stroke, but rather going with a big bore and decreasing the stroke ?

Because most of us know a short stroke rev's harder.

Please supply input into this topic and correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks

Hey guys i want to use the MX5 1600 78mm bore piston in my new A14 motor, mostly because its a flat-top. Have anyone used them before, were they a success if not, what problems did you experience with them?

Thanks

Nice info. But what i'm thinking is... Building an engine with race'ing writen all over it, you might aswell go all the way. a Proper stroker with flat tops and a fully done head and my old setups 300deg cam should go hard and maybe one will enjoy it a bit more if and when its driven. My comp was 11: 1...

So most of you guys dont believe in high compression ratio's with a high octane fuel to make up for power?

See one needs to know what is the increase in power with a higher compression ratio, say 12 : 1 or higher. And fueling.
