Hi, Just thought I start this thread and include some feedback after the build.
It all started when I lost a bearing on my standard V5 Sti engine running just over 300Bhp. I knew the standard internals were weak so decided it was time for a forged engine.
After a bit of seaching I decided the way forward was build a 2.1 stroker engine. I posted in the wanted section on SN and luckily enough I was PM'ed later that day. I was able to buy the whole kit at a reasonable price which included a machined closed deck block.
I dropped the car off at Xtreme scoobies and left them to build my new engine. Later the next week I received an Email from knowlesy stating that the block had been machined incorrecting and was useless. After contacting the SN member it was agreed that a refund was to be made ( a true honest genuine SN Member).
So after I received my money back I took a visit to Mark @ lateral performance who sorted me out with a new block and all associated parts
Xtreme scoobies should receive the new parts and block by Wednesday ready to complete the build. Once completed and run in, Paul @ Zen will begin the mapping.
I will update this thread as progression is continues
Out of interest if anyone has already had a 2.1 stroker conversion, how much difference does the 2.1 feel compared to the 2.0?
Cheers Ben
