the scoobys 1994 onwards do they all have the same cranks are they all 2 litres or 2.2, i dont know much about them

and the wrist pins on the steel rods are they all the same and the length too pls

i needed some info

and how much do they normally cost in the uk to buy a set of 4 steel rods


cheers

My best shot at an answer Moses, but I am no expert:

2.2s are bigger bore not stroke. The 2.5s are both bigger bore and longer stroke.

Phase I cranks (92-96) had smaller (48mm IIRC) big end journals, Phase II (99 on) are 52mm. 97 and 98 are Phase "1.5" and I can't recall whether they are more like Phase I or II for the cranks. The pistons protrude from the deck more on Phase I so they require thicker headgaskets for the same compression ratio. Can't tell you about the rod lengths or gudgeon pin positions.

What are you trying to build? Power/torque objectives?

hi mate and cheers and u proved i aint that techie when it comes too scoobies


if u had to recommend one set of steel rods what length and wrist pin will it be and thanks john for helping me mate

my evo rods are coming soon and i was gonna order skyline and scooby ones

and i spoke to alang over 6 weeks back , im getting a sample billet steel stroker made for scoobs 2.5, will it fit em all


otherwise i will just stick to skylines and evo;s


i had to do an order in 2 weeks so wanted as much info as i could

but scoobys are hard to understand coz i never ever done nothing to do with it, only evo's mostly, skylines are easy their 2.6 and thats it


edited to add see i got my own billet steel strokers made for my company samurai, next up is skylines and pulsars and scoobs

Think you'll need to get service manual specs to find exactly the dimensions you require.
