Ok after talking it over with the wife and putting my other car on hold, I have decided to jump into this k20 swap and get serious. I have ordered this stroker kit http://www.briancrower.com/view.php?pn=BC0049

and this turbo
http://www.briancrower.com/view.php?pn=BC0049

I am going for 400 at the wheel as a starting point.
I should have the car completely done and painted by mid July. Will the mods please make this a sticky, so that I can post my progress pics and let everyone know what is needed to do this swap. Thanks.

 

This is also the official title fail thread. Congrats.


You're going to be the first on here to put a K in a CL? Sweet!

 

What should we call it? Project CL-X??

 

Sorry to disappoint but you'll be in rare company. Rare with a swap, then very rare w/over 400hp, then on your own w/a k swap in a CL lol.

 

brian crower has been a huge failure. bent crankshafts. premature failure in components and most of all made in CHINA...
i have looked for a long time in a stroker kit and there is nothing better can custom made in the USA.

 

Well who do you all recommend?

 

no they come bent. the material is shit
my stroker kit is going to be extremely straight and extremely reliable. i have a 5+G head and a very expensive block to come in the near future. i would not invest my money with them

 

 

Yeah if you're gonna bash on the product, then why not offer a replacement?

 

like i said they are hard to come by. search...

 

What kit are you getting?

 

lol Arber's not gonna tell you, he doesn't want people copying his shit haha

This is the turbo I will be using.

 

You said you already ordered the stroker kit right?

Maybe you could have a custom machine shop copy the specs down, return the stroker kit and have a custom one built?

 

thanks man

 

np. that was for your eyes only. keep in mind invest wisely

 

Yes I already ordered it. I will just send it back.

 

good luck and definitely keep up posted!

 

I think I will surpass my goal.

 

I've read stroker motors aren't good for daily drivers and wear out alot quicker, i can only imagine a turbo stroker and how short of a lifespan it will have if not built to a T and meticulously maintained

 

why short lifespan? its no diff from a regular. its only called a stroker because of a diff displacement. you have a stroker h22. you have a h23 right chris. maybe im wrong but im willing to commit to something big and expensive and i would assume it would last longer that a stock h22

 

Here's something i saw

Im gunning for Cocoa. I have built lots of strokers with NO failures.

 

haha awesome dude! update us periodically please!

 

I'd say you'd be 2 completely different setups. Not really a relevant comparison. Going for top HP numbers in a CL? Look up Hulk22. His H22 turbo is well over 400 Hp

 

good luck with the build.


to bad my cl only has 1hp

 

strokers should be expected to be rebuilt after 80k or so. the cylinder wall wear from the extended stroke. the piston comes up at a different angle from stock and pushes more wear and stress on the walls.

i did a 2.3 stroker on my dsm simply because the cl in my DD and the dsm isn't going out unless its nights/weekends

 

Ls1 swap ftw

 

no. fail.
someone ban this noob

 

 

sarcasm...?

 

Why what u gonna do bllatch
Of coarse sarcasm. We joke here but curso those with a LS1 civic

 

i dont understand everyones fascination with the godamn ls1. its a pushrod v8, lets try and put it in anything we can.

if i swapped in a v8 it would be the 3uz with vvt-i

 

ok guys lets get back on topic here...

 

ok dad.

400hp k series? forza says its possible.

 

scout are you sleeving your block? and if so what type?

 

your gonna spend so much money on the swapp alone its gonna be riduckous unless your doing it all your own but still swap and axels ecu and wire harness is gonna be loot and custom exhaust unless you buy the 600 dollar headers they have on the net but good luck with the swap

 

OP, good luck with the swap.

 

This is going nowhere fast. Stay out if you are not going to help

 

Thanks guys I have 2 06 RSX's to use for parts both 6 speeds just hit in the rear enough to be totalled by the insurance companies. I am doing it all myself pretty much. I have a waterjet at my disposal along with a mig and a tig. Thinking of just getting some forged pistons from diamond racing and some h-beam rods. Gonna be running an intercooler with methanol injection. Exhaust is gonna be all made of 304 stainless and mandrel bent. Convinced the wife to get a new car so I can have the CL to play with. I wanna slay some Cobras that think they are the sh!t around here.
