See subject. I'm going to try it.

Why Foos?

1. Because I can get a set of YCP Vitaras with rings for less than a set of Wiseco rings.

2. We've all talked about it, no one has done it. So it's time to do it.

3. My rotating assembly is out anyway.

I'm going to get the block bored to 75.5mm next week and run the like-sized Vitaras. Stay tuned....

i'm always in for clint's projects!

 

[skatejosh369]

yeah im ready for results

 

[Tim]

in on 1. time for some more long weekend huh clint?

 

[Steven]

very cool clint!!! cant wait to see the results.

 

[baron340]

Geez man. I absolutely love how you go from F it, I'm parting the sumbitch out to researching how to kill vtec and run all rollers and now working on using vitaras and a bigger bore. Definitely in to follow this one too.

 

[speedfoos]

Yeah, I'm tired of talking about "what ifs", so it's time to actually take some steps and do it.

Yeah, Carl Moritz (sql_civic) is running a D16 stroker as well.

Quick check of the compression I will end up with on the Vitaras puts me at 9.1:1 compression on the D17 crank, which is well within where I want to be. This will help keep low-end torque and out-of-boost power.

The compression height on the Wisecos are 27mm and the compression height of the Vitaras are 28mm. Dish on the Wisecos is -14 and the Vits are -15.

As long as they don't come out of the deck, I should be fine. Once I get them installed, depending on how they look, I may have to clay them to see if everything is safe.

 

[Unevolved]

Yayyy!

So you're getting shorter rods made? I know with stock D17 rods they stick up, what, .020?

 

[speedfoos]

No, I'm going to run the stock length rods and see what I need to do to get it to work.

 

[SHG_James]

i heard good things about vitara with the d16's. in for updates

 

[speedfoos]

If it doesn't work, I'll just sell them and get a set of 75.5 Wisecos.

 

[bagoon316]

i asked a while back if you can run vitaras in a d17 and i was told no. i was only asking for info purposes.

are wrist pin diam's the same? also is compression height the same as d17? this is gonna be needed so you know if you are in the hole or outta the hole. im sure you knew that.

 

[speedfoos]

Wrist pins are 19mm which is the same size as my Crowers. Compression height is 1mm higher than the Wisecos and they (Wisecos) already sit below the deck a little.

 

[bagoon316]

should be good to go then. sounds great mang, i am def in for progress. and will see this being used as the new alt than buying wisecos, granted if the machining can get done at a decent price.

 

[Supafil25]

i was thinking about doing the same setup as my d16, ycp vitaras and eagle rods. but i wasnt sure and didnt ask. but if it work then ill try it eventualy. our stock bore is 75mm right? do they make vitars 75mm?

Yeah, my machine shop will bore and hone for $65.

Yep, stock bore is 75mm and Vits come in that size. I'm pretty sure you can't use D16 rods though.

 

[Dopes6070]

In for updates. I dont see why the Vitaras wouldnt work. good luck!

ya i figured. i would go with k1's. those pins are same size as vitaras?
