Alright, heres the deal. I have put my CRX on hold for some time now while building my mild daily driven hatch. I am almost completed and am going to really go head first into finishing the rex.
My original plan was to do an LS/vtec fully built, which I have ready to go...but as most of us have been through..plans have changed. I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to pull the power out of that setup that I really wanna see. My goal is to hit high to mid 11's N/A.
The car is gutted with a 8 pt. NHRA approved chromoly cage, fuel cell, everything is stripped. .....This is going to be a track car only, now that I have the hatch. anyhow, I have looked into every aspect of making horsepower, GSR, LS/V, K series, yada, yada...so in all my days of pondering, I think I came up with a final plan of attack. I want to sleeve and stroke the GSR setup I have layin around and get er done!...... so now that I bored you all here are my questions...
1. I know Eagle and Crower make stroker kits, crower is more money, but I know both companies are very reputable. has anyone had experience with either of theie kits? which do you prefer?
2. I noticed that on both companies sites, they state, if you go with anything bigger than an 84 mm bore, you have to lose the oil squirters? should I use my LS block if this is the case,, or savagley "kill" the gsr block?.
I want to go 2.1/2.2 litre. so I know I am at an 86-87 mm bore. which is pushing it.. i know. also looking to get in the 13:1-15:1 CR range
money or time is not an issuee. I will build it right the first time. just looking for opinions or what everyone thinks before i go "head first" into doing this and investing some serious $$$$$$
