Short Stroke k1100 turbo spec and a couple of questions.
Turbo Mini Forums

actually, thinking about it, you should be able to deck the block enough to use standard rods.... just.

Chop the block or get some 6"rods seem he route most people take.

I've gone with 6" rods

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Hmm... Do you guys think that the k1100 head is necessary for a short stroke motor ? I must say mine is fuel injected (ms3x) and also turbocharged

Probably time for a bit of an update, however if using a k1100 head definitely go for the 6" rod to ensure adequate bite for the head studs.

Onto if there has been any progress. Parts are still being collected. I have a pair of hot cams now as the LT cams wern't going to cut it. I will try LT inlet RS exhaust and go from there. I have also decided to go for a 73.5mm bore which should give 1188cc.

Got the exhaust manifold done, many thanks to Matty / fusion fabrications for welding it up for me.

Next project in the plenum using the BMW itb's which I have now sussed out so hopefully going to get that done soon.

Cool mate good luck with the build... I'm still deciding whether to go for the k1100 head or the simple 5-port setup.

Any progress done minimole ? Since then I bought the k1100 head, dry decked it, machined the upper adapter plate and now choosing what stroke to run and the pistons to fit.
