does anybody know if they make a stroker kit for a EJ253?

Specifically? I don't think so. But you can use the stroker kits for STIs. They use an 81mm or 83mm crank compared to your 79mm but you're looking at a lot of $$$ in parts and machine work.

so i'd have to get my block line bored to use the sti crank?

 

[Jagular 1785]

No, you have the same stroke as the STI. I mean buying the crower stroker kit and then clearancing the block for the rods.

Otherwise, you don't have much stroking options for the EJ253.

oh i see, that sounds like a lot of money lol. cuz mine blew 2 head gaskets so since i was taking the engine out anyway, i was gonna stroke it but i probably wont do anything then. thanks for the info

 

[Jagular 1785]

Yeah. Another thing to consider: boxer engines don't have much room for stroking. I'd be thinking of cams and maybe HC pistons for power gains.

whats a good cam to use?

 

[moogoob]

Delta.

nice prices too...

And great customer service. They've got an entire assortment of cam profiles for your heads, you should check out the group buy they've got on here. Can bundle the tuner and the cams together for a great price. I've got a set of 1500 grinds for my turbo build, was a little less than 100$ a cam for me and was a really quick turnaround.

You can also check their website out at Deltacam.com, though I'd say call them.
