DSport Crate Shortblocks
 

I recently found this article from DSport magazine where they are building FA motors.

I called and got them to email me a flyer which I'll link below. Looks like they've got a 2.0 liter built motor, a 2.1 liter stroker, and a 2.3 liter stroked and bored. All are spec'd with 10.7:1 compression ratios and at this point are focused on forced induction applications, although Troy suggested that getting one built with a 12.5:1 or other compression suitable for NA might be an option.

Anyways... I thought this might be of interest to others and therefore I present it here.

I feel like I've seen this exact same image and numbers but with japanese writing on it. HSK maybe? I could be misremembering but im having a huge déjà vu maintenant.

Stupid forum search. I should've done a google search instead..:mad0260:

Now I have cancer.

Cheap brand, cheap quality, stay away from dsport

Based on what? They bought Cosworth USA's equipment, and hired Cosworth USA's primary engine builder, Magnus, who has experience building F1 and Indy car engines. The components they use are good quality brands and they have the tools, equipment, and expert personnel to do a high-quality build. There's nothing cheap about it.

What is an 'OEM quality' crankshaft? Why not use an OEM crank?

They have a very detailed article in one of their issues detailing every single part, what they do to it, preparation, the installation, all kinds of graphs and charts I don't understand. This went on for pages and pages. I'm not very engine savvy but it looked to me like they knew and cared about what they were doing.

Based on armchair mechanics thinking they know it all.

Some of the specs listed are stroker kits, so the ad copy essentially is meant to cover everything.

As for quality, it's just sourcing parts from a vendor that has crankshafts equal to (or better than) the OE Subaru crank supplier.

Say that about their exhaust pieces. They have welding problems or don't fit at all. That's all the info I need from a brand to determine. It's based on other forum members' experience

With that price, i want a warranty
