Hey Lat and everyone, I have been a member for a bit but never post,,

I just wanted to see how Lat was doing w/ his stroker, I have 90 TSI AWD w/ same setup

Weisco Stroker Pistons
Manley I beam rods
ARP Everything
But i have obviosly a 1g head and HKS 264 / 272 Cams
E3 16g (Someday will be GT35r)

at 10lbs boost 1st gear is over before you know it and 2nd snaps your neck

It does seem to do ok on pull untill about 6500rpm I think you will be verry happy w/ your setup on a built auto, and will probably surprise the hell out of most of these guys running 2.0 w/ a big turbo, but you might want to adjust your shift points to max power profit, you will have alot on the low end

I do get knock like crazy over 10lbs boost, I am yet to be completely tuned but here in CA we only have 91 unless you pony up the $8 per gallon for 100


Anyways good luck man, Let me know what your knock looks like too when you start boosting it a bit....

FYI a methodical break in with low boost high rpm and high vaccuum down shift if possible is best,,, I wouldnt doo too much boost it will just blow by your rings,, but dont baby it, and dont abuse it either..

Head and block were remade, hasn't helped the oil getting burned stuff. I'm figuring a major blockage since its not leaking anywhere and the oil pressure is no where near what it should be.

However, the interior has moved a bit forward...here is what it looks like:

Still running up miles with the brake in. Up to the almost 400mile mark now on the new engine. still burning oil as it rubs in and brakes in. But getting better.

Its nice to do your own brake in...you can literally feel the car going better and better and better.... :D Starting to feel solid strong now.

Boost is no where near as expected. Its a bit lower than stock, but bearable...with 30% throttle I start spooling at 2.5k rpm, at 3k rpm playing with the throttle allows instant any boost within the pre-set range :D

Haven't been higher than 5k rpm yet. Car and guts don't allow it. Don't want to be risking anything.

I have a built 2.0l with a FP Green/ internally reg'd. At 20% throttle i achieve 14psi by 3800 , and can roll to 150+ mph. At 20%.

And my clutch is worn. So no launching. But yeah if your trans is built, and you have a differnt torque converter, you should get at least a 50-trim, but have fun with the evo3.:)

And i thought there was more piston slap from a stroker anyway? Because of increased side load, i thought the tolerences were "not as tite".\

Good luck with the car bro!

Without reading through the whole thread, the fact that you are running Pauters, in a 2.4L with 580cc injectors, an SAFC NEO, and an evo 3 turbo just seems so rediculously jumbled of a combo that it wouldnt make me feel jealous at all :).

Oh Lat, Poor Lat...
I don't know how they roll in Latvia... but I'da killed a mf already.
Talk about shoddy ass work.
:(

1.5mm P2W clearance is insane.
I'm running 1.5 thousandths.
Stock is about 3 thou
And most forged situations are between 4-6 thou.

You need to check your ring gaps as well. I think the three blind mice put your engine together. I mean, that's just bad dude. Real bad.

How are they going to put metal back in your block? :confused:
There aren't sleeves. Its a solid block. WTF!

They'd have to start with a new block or bigger pistons...

Well, it looks like I win. Not to be a douche. I have 1300 miles on mine problem free. :D I've seen 9k. anti-lag, 28psi spikes on the 14b... no knock anywhere. Wiped a Mustang GT out, ran down a bike in 3rd gear, and even whooped on a SRT4 to boot... and that was just today.

Where you at Lat?
:banana:

Time for you to get serious dude. It looks like you need to keep a closer eye on what's being done with your engine. Those guys do NOT know what they are doing. And this is coming from a guy who built his engine on his kitchen table.
Note: mine works.

Not good buddy. Not good at all. :(

Oh man Reason #3213 why I do all my own assembly, clearance as much machining work as I can. I've let someone try to build my engines 3 times for me and all 3 times they failed miserably. The care and attention to detail just isn't there. LatDSM you have my sympathy. I will be building pretty much the exact same thing you have going on. 2.3 with IPT built auto trans and I'll even be using my FP T28 until I have everything tuned in with the stock cams and all . I need to rebuild as I am now approaching 190,000 miles (sound familiar) on a stock unmolested 7 bolt but I wont have the money to do the cams and turbo right away so what i have will have to do. Hopefully my build goes smoother than yours not that it could go much worse:( ... Hope you get this all cleared up ASAP I want to see some et slips

Good Luck

The car turned over and started up last evening.

The intake manifold gasket is now leaking after all the rebuilds...has to be redone, hopefully as I'm typing this. Then the car should sit rumbling away for the rest of the day and I can take it for a spin in the evining.

For reference: it is now 9:50 on Tuesday, 24th of July, 2007 ;)

and no oil on the pistons either...so the new/better oil rings finally worked.

it seems I had the wrong set sent to me with the stroker kit...

Just got a call from the mechanic who is working on my car. Its officially stopped smoking, just purring away at the clock. Intake manifold gasket leak fixed...
