This is just going to be any info i find on stroking our FE3 clones. I'll post links as i find them and write a small blurb about what they are.
This will contain anything from cranks, rods, and flywheels
to adding bigger injectors
If u have info not posted here share it. I'll then add it to the first post.

some piston info
a post about pistons that wok with the fe3 and some info about using sr20 pistons
http://importperformanceparts.net/
good prices on pistons. look around after reading the above post. if u look at nissian sentra pistons for the sr20de they are about 40 each with rings look at topline oem pistons.

This is all very interesting,but a little bit complicated for me.
I would certainly install larger injectors and larger throttle body along with a more efficiant exhaust system.
Any ideas on the injectors and throttle body would be welcome.

i am pretty sure the mustang tb's are being used with the fwd intake manifolds though. not too sure if it would work with our intake manifolds or not. as it is designed to come back over the top of the engine.

the problem with using the fwd intake manifolds is that it would have the tb aimed directly at the firewall with very little room to have a good intake set up.
the other thing to keep in mind is that they went to the mustang tb because the stock fwd is a single tb, dont remember the sizes off hand, were as we use a dual tb.
and i do remember reading that the dual set up, although each one is smaller added together flows more air. not sure if that was more or not than the mustang tb though.

Maybe try to get it to turn around and have the air filter on the inlet side of the motor rather than over the hot exhaust. Carbon canister can be moved a bit further back to make room, and the front hub vacuum solenoid et al can be stripped out.

good stock replacements. but to stroke it you need pistons with a lower deck hight thats why sr20 pistons are used because at tdc the piston is 1mm or so below deck.
and for those that dont know what decking is its when the pistons at top dead center are even with the top of the block
i think using stock pistons with the f2 crank it over decks by like an inch. in a few weeks im going to get my kia engine i hope.
