2.3L Stroker build

RaceTorque is currently  rebuilding the engine with a Manley 2.3L stroker kit. Took photos of bits and pieces before it all got assembled.

Machined block. Had to bore out slightly larger than anticipated as the bore didn't come out clean. Sounds like previous builder didn't clean them up properly after some detonation damage.
HKS 274/278 CAMS are in as part of the build

2012 MC Motorsport Sprint Results

So my 1st ever sprinting season is over. Managed 9th outright and 5th in 4WD Open class. Also managed to get into 55secs at Barbagallo short track. Quite satisfied with the result considering I'm still on a steep learning curve. The Evo has been amazing all season so I'm rewarding it with a fresh stroker build for next year. It's previous forged build did start to show signs of wear anyway.


Outright Results - 9th overall

Round 7 video

No point pushing hard in the wet so just playing around with anti lag pop pop pop. Also, melted the clutch together in the last run.
