The answer to your question, how ever, is it will change port timing.. Which could be good or bad, depending on which way it changes, and depending on your driving style.. I'm not a tuner, so I don't know which way will do what. One, thing I do know for sure if you only change the crank to a shorter stroked crank, you will loose some compression, same would be true if using a shorter rod.
sirio cl7 sti and the evo4 sti use the same rod [ same part number]it all about the crankshaft stoke. I gained the compression by removing a shim and i will watch it close. Not for beginers. 16.62 evo vs werks b5 16.50 crankshaft
