I am a full ERL dealer. If anyone ever wants a motor done through ERL you should contact me. Thanks for the good words guys. I just hope I can really put down some good numbers. For those who asked, I am shooting for around 280whp. I really would like 300whp but I think I would need to bump compression up a tad more, which would really make it hard to do some other things I want to it. But you never know 300whp mark could be hit on the right fuel

My car is actually a 2.1L . I didnt choose to do the stroker crank. I went with a 89mm bore which raises the car upto 2.1L . My goals were to rev the car upto around 11,000 rpm. I dont believe this would be good to do on a stroker setup because of piston speed. With the right cams and with my 52mm ITbs on I think power could be made into that range. I wanted to try something a little different. If it doesnt work out the way im planning then some new rods and a stroker crank can be used. I just felt that I wanted to get more revs out of the car and stroking would only make it harder.

It looks pretty but what's the use? I am still trying to figure out why people drop so much money into keeping the car naturally aspirated and make less power than forced induction. I know it's not for naturally aspirated being more reliable.
Maybe it's one of the those "JDM" things. In anycase, nice job on the build.

The S was built to give years of F1 technology & development to the consumer. It is a perfectly balanced work of art. The only things I feel that should be upgraded to improve this car to the next degree are stronger brakes, tighter suspension, and a good set of wheels and tires. Anything more is icing on the cake...
