Ecotec 4.2 stroker kits

[smoken-v8]

Has any one fitted a 4.2 litre stroker kit to an ecotec and what was the power differance?

[Z()LTAN]

well obiously it would b alot lol

[smoken-v8]

im seriuosly thinking about getting one, as the kit is only $2500, witch sounds cheap to me. i just want to know the power differances

[Sparkie]

What do you get for $2500?

[smoken-v8]

crank, rods, pistons, i think rings and bearings

[Sparkie]

Is this assembled? If so this seems very cheap i have only just started looking but average price i have found on the net is over 3k on tuesday when people are open again going to ring around local work shops see what they say but from what i have red one company that makes these is claiming 250 Kw with the right bolt ons how true this i dont know. Where is the $2500 kit from?

[gfresh]

its from COME racing. Im pretty sure that $2500 is just to purchase the stroker kit, then U gotta pay to have ur block machined etc. etc. and have it installed

Type ECOTEC into search thefre is one place $3350 Block Crank Pistons assembled.

the kit is unassembled from c.o.m.e racing for 2500 as i am planning to assemble the kit myself to use the saved money on the heads being done up a little bit.

i just found this on the net...
What we have here is a brand new stroker kit from C.O.M.E. racing, It is to suit the VS-VT series v6 ecotec engine, all parts are brand new in the box!!!! The kit includes 1 nodular iron crank, 1 set i beam rods, 1 set hypatec .020 over pistons, rings and bearings and fully balanced on state of the art cwt computerised balancing machine.

All you have to do is bore and hone your block, clearance grind the bottom of the bores( which is very easy, i can send you pictures of a clearanced block) deck the block and assemble, it's that easy!!!!!!!


This kit is for$2300

My idea started out just to freshen up my donk then went to just cam and a little bit of head work and is slowly progressing into a major project the idea was to start assembly on tuesday have it ready for me to go back to work on the 6th think im gunna be getting a taxi! how does the auto and diff stand up to the extra power if these claimed figures are right i will be doing both of them inside 5000 km. Its endless i thought i grew out of this shit obiously not

Another option is eagle auto spares in dandenong

why dont you get the kit for 4500 , then it'll be ready for a charger or turbo. and on the website it reckons a the least amount of power you can get is 200kw.

[spauldj308]

Does anyone know whether this will fit non-ECOTEC V6's?

[alex88]

theres not a stroker kit but you can get a head and cam package kit and all this other stuff , thats ment to be good for 180kw and 240ft.lbs http://www.comeracing.com/products/e...03_231_st3.pdf

[Stewart1000]

damn that sounds good. youll have a pretty torquey engine after that. but remember it wont be a very high revving engine

[spauldj308]

That sounds pretty enticing....but Id still love a stroker.

Guess I'll have to save the stroker engine for later...

[smoken-v8]
