I was thinking today about putting a stroker kit in my Ls/Vtec while it is out for the winter, and was wondering if this is possible? I was currious as to wether I could put the CRV crankshaft as well as possibly the CRV rods if I would need to, to make it a stroker for torgue. Now you may be wondering why I don't just go CR/Vtec.... because the block are tough to get ahold of around me and I've already got the Ls. So I was just wondering if it is possible and with what rods and hopefully a set of High Compression pistons to go along with the CRV crank? One of the biggest questions I have is wether the CRV is a TALLER block or not than the LS, IF it is taller then I would have to use some shorter rods so the pistons dont slap the head... Any useful info and comments are alwayse welcome. Thanks guys

im pretty sure the ls and crv cranks are the same size. the only reason that the crv is a 2.0 instead of a 1.8 is because of a larger bore... crv bore is 84mm instead of the ls 81mm bore.

your right, I just read that on HONDATUNING's web site they're both 89mm stroke. How then do the CRVtec's make so much more TORQUE than the Ls/Vtec's? I would think that Bore would'nt have anything to do with Torque....

Bore/stroke make up displacement hence why 84/89 is a 2.0 when the ls is 81/89 is a 1.8. Thats why people sleeve blocks to get more displacement.

more displacement=more torque
