+2mm rod and Stroker Piston not a thing anymore?
There was a lot of activity on this forum a couple years back with +2mm rods and stroker (83mm) pistons, which seems to have died out.
Any builders out there that are still doing this? The obvious benefits are documented, TDC dwell, improved rod angle, piston speeds etc. So what happened? Why have most builders gone back to standard stroke, standard rod length etc? Any input eagerly anticipated.

+2 rod is 90% of the motors we build.
We've been extremely happy with them. |

So is the standard or at least accepted way of doing it to go with +2mm rods like the Turbo Tuff I beams and 83mm pistons for a DiY build? I have the ability now to build my next engine with this concept in mind. Do you see any challenges with doing so? Thanks for your input sir. Actually did a little searching on IAG's website and see that their Tuff Stage 4 block uses +2mm rods with "custom" IAG pistons so there is at least one shop doing it. |

This is still a thing for sure. The issue is options/availability.
TIC gets the Manley H-Tuff made in a +2mm rod. Doms design and he can get them aswell. Manley only sell the +2mm HTuff to a few select vendors. Im pretty sure Woolman Performance also uses them. The TurboTuff is also available in the +2mm PN 14436-3 with arp2000 bolts. IMO I think the +2mm rod with the stroker piston on a 79mm stroker 2.5 is a great option. The manley stroker piston are about 10-15+ grams lighter then the standard stroke pistons. Manley standard platinum 99.75mm PN 612002c-4 slug weighs around 394-398 grams. Manley Stroker platnium 99.75mm PN 622002c-4 slug weighs around 383ish grams. Manley standard TurboTuff 99.75mm PN 632202c-4 weighs in at 408grams. Manley Stroker Turbotuff 99.75mm PN 632402c-4 weighs around 393grams. I need to get some small and big end weights of different +2mm rods. I think the reciprocating weigh "Small rod end, piston, pin, rings" should be close to the same weight over all. Ian, |

I was talking to Carillo a while ago about extended length rods and the numbers they came back with for weights equaled to about 3-4g per 1mm of added length for their Pro-H and HD Pro-H (not advertised or in their catalog but the part number is SB-B2LHD-0HS-5137B6S if you're wondering) rods.
Personally I wouldn't do a standard length rod build due to the EJ's rod/stroke/bore ratio anyway, but I like high RPM to make power over low RPM grunt. |

I think TiC mostly build them to a 2.5. Most of the time at least...

TIC can do a +2 or 4mm rod destroker in a bunch of bore sizes
and the 2.5 +2 is pretty sweet also, I think they called it the "honey badger" personally i'll have a sleeved 101mm or closed deck 99.75 bore , 75mm crank , +2mm rod destroker for the bang per buck quotient , and I like they way the destrokers feel my 99.5 +2mm budget destroker was very linear but I needed more turbo |

I also run the +2's in my destroker. I like the feel of it.

I really wanted to do a +2 2.34, but I live at 7000 ft and I've heard they are a bit more lazy than the 2.5 down low and that really adds up at altitude. I need to meet someone here in Colorado that has one so I can see how it feels.

2.5, but I have done some +2 2.34 setups as well. I have also done a 2.34 with a +4 rod, and while really nice we don't do them that often due to the lead time for +4 rods. Quote:

I love the revs of a 2.34, but we're a good bit lower than you for elevation. In your case I would stick with the larger displacement. |

Are you guys going to have them listed on your website? I have a EJ25 block I plan to build this summer. I need to buy rods and pistons for it and was considering doing a +2 rod set up. I've been trying to find them in h beam or h tuff.

Eventually. We're in the middle of completely rebuilding the site so once we go live we'll be adding all sorts of new things.

Doesn't the compression ratio go down when you do this? Like 0.4 or so?

Just so I am clear, because I am working on this myself for a EJ22 CDB....
The "+2" rods are the 5.181 (131.6mm) length rods correct? Or is there some other market rod that is 5.22" (132.5mm) ? Also, what kinds of rod clearance issues have people seen with the long rod <--> 79mm cranks? Last edited by station2station; 04-25-2017 at 11:33 AM. |

There isn't any actually spaces machined into the block or added? You simply mean that during assembly the block halves have to be seperated to line the wrist pin holes correct? |

It is not actually "destroked" because the crank throw of 79mm remains the same. Using "de-stroked" pistons simply provides the piston clearance (by moving the wrist pin up and shortening the skirts) to account for the +2mm at the top of the stroke and -2mm at the bottom of the stroke for the longer rods as I understand it. The piston actually moves 158mm since it has 79mm throw at the top and bottom. You add them to get total swept length. Last edited by Team Scream; 04-25-2017 at 05:53 PM. |

I like to ponder about different configurations using this. Thought this might be a good place to share? |
