Re: stroke length

[Zac Campbell]

Can you explain to me why a turbo engine needs to rev to make power? Any engine needs to rev to make more power, really (it's mathematical). I think the list has had this argument before anyway. or do you mean torque?   Why don't you consider my suggestion in my previous email? As andrew smith said, the head is kinda maxed out for a 2l engine let alone a 2.4litre engine, so pushing boost into these smaller valves and ports before that rpm point at which the 2litre head flow becomes a restriction can only be an advantage. anyone into turbos can tell you port and intake sizes are not as important on a turbo engine as it is on a naturally aspirated engine - the boost forces it all in. so repeating my earlier email - why don't you size the turbo so it is making +ve manifold pressure from as low in the rpm as possible and then all the way to when the head becomes a restriction (anything after this is pointless regardless). It would be a low rpm torque grunter, but isn't a l-z24 a low rpm torque grunter anyway? I'm not huge on turbo selection, but something with a tiny exhaust housing and moderately sized compressor? and big-ass external wastegate!   zac     ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 6:05 PM Subject: Re: stroke length yes I have had a fair bit of dealing with stroker motors, but not for turbo use with big cube N/A motors it doesn't need to rev to make power with a turbo motor it does need to rev   I'm getting custom pistons made up, so I have more options open to me for what rods to use, cause I'll just get the pistons made to suit.   I've just gotta try to work out how to get my stroker to rev now :(   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Shillito To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 2:17 PM Subject: Re: stroke length david, sorry, i didn't build the engine.........but if it helps, i have z22 pistons............i can only assume they are L20B rods.  have you had much to do with strokers ??? my engine has had a lot of work.....11:1 comp. dual 45s, large valves & ports, free flowing exhaust, 76 works cam....... it's got everything that should make it rev...... however 6500 is it.......no more. mind you the torque from about 2300 is strong and they are easy to drive around town. the 2.1 L/Z  (Z22 crank in L or Z block & L head) is the preffered engine to make high RPM horsepower. i think the rod/stroke ratio is around 1.75:1......... good luck, dunc.   >From: "David Costello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: stroke length >Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 13:04:45 +1000 > >what rods did you use?
