You'd be a bloody silly bugger if you built a stroker and didn't go for it!! And when he's done I've got an R16 head he could have a go at also!! :mrgreen:

It is very tempting. We'll see how the finances are in Spring. Either way I'm building the stroker, just a matter of how crazy. It would be SO cool, especially with the nitrous. Drivetrain parts breakage is the first sign of proper engine modification :lol:
I'm still searching for an H25, but they are not easy to find. As far as I can tell, the heads etc don't interchange, but if I can find one to play with, I have to try.

I know a guy with an R16 stroker over here that puts out about 95kw (~125hp) at the wheels, using an H20 crank, flat tops, twin 44phh Solex's and essentially a "B" U20 cam. Torquey thing, too, and quite quick.

Cheer,

Well, with Mark screwing up my plans by dropping a worked over U20 in my lap, stroker parts will get sold off. Less clutter. Still watching for the H25 though, no substitute for cubic inches.
