Re: k24/26 hybrid aka RS2

["Aidan McLeer" <Rally3@nstate.net>]

I have heard that the 2.5/2.6 conversions(95.5mm) arent all that well suited
to the turbo motor's, as it is does not like to rev like the 86.5mm stroke
motor's.The 2.5 in the Eurovan (where the block and crank comes from) has a
redline of 5000rpm.
More suited to the normally aspirated aplications (Loooots of low down
torque)
