Re: stroke length

[Zac Campbell]

a turbo engine doesn't have to rev hard to work. he could undersize the turbo and have it boost very early in the rev range making bulk low rpm torque but the compromise there would be the turbo running out of efficiency in the higher rev ranges, where the stroker l24 is (said to be) limited anyway. if the turbo was sized right and could make big psi at very low revs and be a bit like a v8 in power delivery. I'd be tempted to do this, the more I think about it the better it sounds!   david what fuel system are you going to use, carby or efi?     ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 1:35 PM Subject: Re: stroke length why's that heath? more cubes plus boost is a good thing long as you build it so it revs   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Cleary Signs To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:53 AM Subject: Re: stroke length Dave, my idea would be to use a series2 bluebird crank, an not stroke it, as you arre turbo'ed it, but courses for horses   Heath ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:41 AM Subject: Re: stroke length David, I would forget about using the z24 rods.The L20 rods would mean that with L20 piston that the pin height would be about 5mm to much so you need to find some pistons with 5mm less pin height.The z22e late model pistons list as a 32.1 pin height when compared to the L20 as 38.1 which is 6mm and you could deck the block if the comp was to low.These pistons are 87mm bore but unsure on the dish.Others on the list may have some better ideas.
