Vito's +3 stroker question...
- Thread starter bigwill
- Start date
I seem to remember civic telling me it is possible to put the 115mm rod on the +3 crank a while back. But he mentioned that the regular +3 crank doesnt require trenching becasue of the machined down bearing or or whatever etc. However if the banshee rod was to go on a +3 vitos, that trenching would be required as with the +4 crank.
u might as well do the +4 longrod if ur thinking of doing a +3 longrod, u are going to spend more but it is well worth it. or just do the regular +3 stroker 240 which will yield plenty of power. im doing a +4 longrod on one of my 240s this winter. ken has a +4 longrod 240 and talk to him about it, u will want it by the time u get off the phone with him. just plan on spending some money
Pretty shure it is possable cause ken uses a +5 with a +4 base with added material to it to make it balanced out.If you wanted to all you have to do with the vito's +3 is just have it in spec and put in. But the +4 hot rods needs minimal trenching and is about $60 more. All I can say is be prepared to fork over some dough for the crak/rod and the guy who's gonna put it in. lol
see i knew u were a clost bbk guy!! I:I it is inevitable, come to the dark side, lol
+4 longrod if u have the funds, hands down u will see nothing better other than buying a banshee....
I hear ya me and my dad will do the same thing next time my motor goes. The only thing ken can do for me is be able to finish all of the work in a day or two. Where as me I'd def. take my time in knowing everything was done by me and to the smallest discoloration of metal perfect and such and so on and so forth.
oh contrare mofrare, maybe i'm old and senile and can't read correctly ????? ...............NOT !!!!!!!!

Yeah you can get it for a banshee but it's not what came for a banshee so to say it's a "banshee" rod is EH EH wrong! Lol
you could put a 5mm long rod on a +3mm vito's stroker BUT you'd have to trench the bottom end because, as Uncagedshadow mentioned, vito's +3 stroker crank only fits into the stock case without trenching because the big end of the rod is shaved thinner to allow it to fit.
If you're going to trench, you might as well get a +4 stroker crank. I've said it before and I'll said it again, I would NOT buy a brand new crankshaft, and then pay to press a brand new rod onto it before I even ran it. If you want to put a 4mm stroker in, just pop it in. Sometime down the road when the rod bearing flies apart, THEN pay to press a new rod onto those crank ends.

the longrod doesnt even net a power gain to my knowledge. It just changes the angle of the crank to piston. Therefore giving it a mechanical advantage that theoretically increases power but is more for stress relief and less wear.
I agree yes suppose it does/could but it would be dificult to test with us modern joes with limited funds. It's perhaps a debate for another day on that subcatagory.
