after i tuned my stock f20c i liked the new feel the car had for about 3 weeks of daily driving but now ive gotten use to that and im back on the hunt for more output....
Ive discovered the inline pro F24c stroker for oem sleeve as i have no intention of boring or resleeving my motor.

basic kit with
F24c inline pro crank
inline pro f24c custom rods
mahle custom CR pistons
$2300

thing ive seen people do to compliment these mods....
full bearing overhaul....
block guard to help stabilize sleeves from the added rod angle
new oil pump... well that becuz im in that department so i might as well gain that piece of mind....
head studs
head gasket
any other suggestions????

ok so please for those you have done this mod... even if u dont wanna make it public hit me on a pm...
i just wanna know ur personal feedback.....
and also is the grinding necessary for the rods the clear the block in rotation as seems done in the k24 crank swap?

thanks

 

I can tell you that the mahle NA pistons require near stock p-w clearance. You will not be dropping those in w/o doing some machine work. Make sure whoever does your machine works knows how to properly hone FRM, and FRM is NOT the same as nikasil which for some reason 1/2 the shops around here think is the case.

 

i wouldnt even chance it getting any machining to my sleeves locally, all the shops ive called have no clue of what i speak... and im not about to ship my short block to the US to be built then back to Jamaica... that along is over $1000 in shipping
ah man... what to do now.... i thought these mahle pistons would just drop in n work perfectly with the oem sleeves....
