well if your replacing a blown engine then never mind the turbo d16 idea, BUT where did you learn that only the stroke of an engine determines the torque output!?!?!!? All you're doing when you stroke an engine is increasing the displacement of the cylinders(by having the pistons move up and down more), which is the same thing boring out the engine(except the increase in displacement is outward from the center of the piston) either way you have more displacement and more room for air/fuel, meaning more power(torque), which should end up being about 120ftlbs in a d16z6, which is limited by the head design and compression ratio.
