Does anyone out there run a stroked I5?
I have seen long blocks advertised for the 1500 - 2000 range.
They do not recommend for turbo applications? Is anyone out their doing it anyway.
A week ago the motor on my urquattro froze number 2 rod and cracked a hole in the block. I went to the local junkyard and got a donor motor out of a 1989 turbo car for the block. In the process of stripping the block for machining I looked at the bearings. The cars odometer read around 190,000 miles the bearings showed almost no wear. I was really impressed. This i5 motor could take way more power and still run for along time.
I think the way to go might be a stroker 3b motor?
Any comments oh loyal I5 guys?
