2.3 stroker question

zombietsi · Post by **zombietsi** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 2:06 pm

I have a 95 talon awd tsi...had a rod knock (im not doing a rearwheel drive swap)
I took the motor out last night and sure enough after pulling the pan we struck gold =) so it looks like crank walk due to the bearings wear on the crank

now i have a question....im thinking about doing a 2.3 if im right all i need is a
4g64 crank (does year matter?), and custom pistons (where could i get the pistons) and what other odds and ends would i need? besides your normal bearings and rings and stuff.

I know you guys are real knowledgeable so what do you think ?

I remember seeing the breakdown in the FAQ section under the engine section.
I think it was custom rods and pistons. You can find them on Ebay even..

Have you looked into the 2.1 destroker kit? More displacement...good revs. Its hard to argue with

Check out dsmtuners for more info on it unless others can provide it. I think its the 4g63 block, and pistons...not sure on the rods...and the 4g64 crank...but I might be remembering it wrong.

The 2.3 uses the 2.4 crank/2.0 block along with a piston/rod setup . You can go with a stock length rod along with an appropriate piston, or you can go with a longer rod and custom piston to get a better rod ratio.

The 2.1 uses a 2.4 block and an 88mm (2.0) crank.

Thanks for clearing that up...Its been so long since I even considered one I didn't remember. What Piston/Rod set up for the 2.1? Is it the 2.0 Rod w/ 2.4 piston?

No, the 2.0 and 2.4 share the same rod length from the factory. It uses a longer rod which gives it a nice rod ratio. There are a bunch of different combos out there today.

So John, the 2.1 has to use a custom rod?? I got kinda cornfused on what ya said..
Will the 2.0 block take that big of a boring? (to a 2.4)
