How did you manage to "melt" them? What happened?

 

Toda Racing stroker kit.......tdi sell them.

 

erm........the dealer cant tell me y! its prob the decatt tho! its my fault 4 doin the mods!

 

Will you get it done under warranty ?

 

I wouldnt buy a new bloc from a dealer, way too expensive. I'd get one from a crashed scooby.


Stroker sounds good. I like strokers. Have one in my Evo, much better midrange, and forged internals enable you to run high boost

TODA is cheap, but crap! Wouldnt buy that.

 

Speak to lateral performance....

 

Roger Clark (Leicester)do a 2.2 litre Stroker kit - should be good for at least 500bhp!... then again some of us are hoping for 500bhp from a 2 litre..thats when I get my car back again.....

You need a 2.2 litre in the Evo... these cars are so damn slow!..

Went out in an EVO 7 the other day with 380bhp..... quite amusing.. I dont think I'll mod my Evo8! if I have to take it to 600bhp to see a real power difference on My Scoob..

Waiting to be flamed....

 

lol

I think it was the other way round for me - scooby (P1) felt slow so changed to an Evo plus its less likely to go pop

I trust a high power Evo a HELL of a lot more than a high power scooby

 

evos have steel blocks, imprezas have ally blocks. but then imprezas weigh roughly 140kg less (old shape).

With a closed deck, there is no reason why the evo is significnatly any stronger, but being able to take the heads off without removing the engine is a big advantage.

Scoobyboy, I would stay away from a 2.2 stroker kit. Toda use an offset ground 2.5 crank, as to get 2.2 from a 2.0 you need to over bore aswell and they dont require that. Not too keen on the quality personally (having seen pictures only I should add).

If you are keen to start again, then I echo the advice of speaking to mark@lateralperformance.co.uk

he has experience and knowledge of everything you will need to look in to when taking on a project such as this.
