has anyone heard about this kit from ealge, good and bad are welcome. if you havent heard about it what do you think of the company eagle itself?

Eagle makes good products, I'm using their rods on both of my motors. There stroker kits should be top notch. But I wouldn't worry to much on their quality, I would worry about the r/s ratio the stroker kit would yield.

yeah eagle

yeah its suppose to change the 1.6 to a 2.1 , they say that it can rev to 9grand safely and if it blows up because of the kit itself then its under a warante(spelling). and it only cost 1800 crank,rods,pistons and everything you need to put in.

 

[sol_ryda]

I don't doubt that it will be able to rev to 9K, my concern would be reliablity. I'm sure you don't want to keep pulling your motor every 5 months to rebuild it.

does that kit requier you to sleeve the block to 84mm? i dont think they can increase the displacement to 2.1 by stroke alone.

 

[sol_ryda]

Yes you would have to bore out the block.

Actually, Eagle kits are sub-par. They are forged in China. They take ALOT of work and metal removal and Mallory to balance correctly...Make sure you have a good machine shop..
I've had much experience with Eagle stuff...strong parts , but it needs work.

no bore

no boring just crankshaft, rods, and pistons with any desired compression for 1800. no boring required.

You are correct, that is all you need to stroke a B16A to a 1.8 and a B18 to a 2.0 liter. In order to go over that you will have to bore out the block. Why does everyone rip on ESP for being made in China? I thought all ESP products were finished up in the US. I have never had any balancing problems with any ESP products, but then again I'm only talking about rods not cranks. The only problem I have about ESP is the weight of their rods(345grams), their a lot heavier then I thought.
