all said and done though getting the block decked to match the pistons, what would it bring the compression to, and with whatever machining needs to be done to pistons to make them work, why not just get a set of pistons made that will work perfect with the stock rods and the 2.2 crank? that way to you can also specify exactly what compression you want to run.

for me its my budget and tools i can use. im a manufacturing student so i can play with cnc..so modding a piston is no biggy so buyin 4 pistons for 144 and doing the work my self is worth it.
ross will make modded kia FE pistons but at a price tag quadruple that of buying the toplines and modding

My boy has the part # for the wiseco pistons he used on his FE3 stroker for his Probe but they are a low compresion piston for high boost engines, they are also about $900.00 for pistions, rings and custom rods. Another option my boy told me about if you want to stroke it but not turbo it is use the Probe crank, Kia rods, and Probe GT turbo pistons and have the tops shaved to the deck. It is said they will work great if you don't boost it.

where did matt get the custom rods from dennis? because 900 for the pistons and custom rods isnt to bad actually.
my insurance wont allow me to go turbo, so i am just going to bump up my compression and run it na, with some custom cams.

heres some crankshaft info if you know of another working crank let me know and i will get its applications also. after that i'll do pistons and rods so on and so forth
also some food for thought many people have put the fe-dohc in the b2200 the engine bolts right in with its existing flywheel..so that could mean if using the f2 crank + flywheel from the truck it should just bolt in no flywheel work to be done but dont quote me on that
CRANKSHAFTS R2 crank * 19871991 Mazda B-series * 2008-present Mazda3 * 2008-present Mazda6
F2 crank * 19861991 Mazda 929 * 19881992 Mazda 626 * 19881992 Mazda MX-6 * 19881992 Ford Probe * 19871999 Mazda B2200 this crank can be found at rock auto with crank and rod bearings for 200 and the flywheel is 44-50 so that brings the parts cost to around 400 ish

I'm not sure how much to shave off yet, When we can dig up an extra crank I will check it all out. I am now thinking of going with the SR20 pistons and still adding a turbo. I am going on vacation the end of the month and when we get back I am going to get serious on the Kia. Most people don't understand thies words but, boy do I miss my Kia.
When I find out where Matt got his rods I will let you know.

Matt got his rods from Cunningham, He said they don't keep part numbers so you have to send them a rod. He sent them a sotck Kia rod and them made his from there.
