Gday everyone
There has a been a lot of talk about the factory rally cars using 88.7mm
pistons. Whilst I was planning to build a stroked L18W with 88mm bore, I
have become more and more interested in the factory engine.
I therefore have two questions:
1) The engine I am building is L18W block, 88mm bore, with the crank
stroked to 82mm, L18 conrods with forged flat tops at custom compression
heght to suit. This gives a swept volume of 1995cc to keep in the 1600-1800
class. Would it be more beneficial to not build this stroker but to copy
the factory engine spec?
2) Are 88.7mm flattops still available?
Whilst I personally can see no problems with the stroker in terms of
reliability I am interested to hear your opinions.
Another question I must ask, whilst I have done no calcs or schematics so
may be way off the mark, would L14 rods be worth looking at for the stroker?
I have had nothing to do with them so I don't know there strength, weight,
or even journal size.
