Hey just wondering if anyone has much info about a stroker kit for an ecotec?? Is there much power gain, and do i need anything modified or changed.
I did see the CAPA stroker kit for 2,500 wondering if anyone kn ows how good this kit is.

cant really see the point when you will get much better results with a v8, or blower on the v6...

gota agree there, just stick a blower on it for the same price :/

twin turbo, would definitely prove viable and be 'different'.

Try C.O.M.E. racing if you are after a ecotec stroker hit as they are probably the ones that supplied Capa.They do a 4.4 litre stroker which yields good gains. I'd say heads would have to be looked at and a set of decent roller rockers from Yella Terra with a cam to match. depending how hard the revs are, a four bolt mains conversion too. Perhaps 220 rwkw on a sedate build with under 6000rpm.

Though with the money spent on a v6 stroker, maybe a LS1 conversion would see a better value for $$ mod?

v6 + turbos or v8 + blower
Stroke it out once you've fckd the first engine, and build it stronger.

lots of $$$ for around 40hp

better off doing a L67 (factory supercharged motor) conversion or turbo.

Pro Flow have a turbo kit which has just run 10.80 on a ecotec

check out l67torque.com lots of info on there.

My neighbour has a 6 VS commodore blown. An he's making around 380rwhp on 9psi goes hard. I recommend blowing it

factory blown 6 is a easy option good power and torque from not alot of cash
