Not to my knowledge, only one i know of is for the BP 2.0L stroker. I think there are two companies’s making them. The 1.6 is bored out pretty much to its max the little guy started its life at a 1.3L

WHY? For that price you could turbo the damn car and get 100X more power than a stroker kit.

The engines are totally different... a BP is a different block than a B6. Different everything.
stroker kits are for v8's...

i mean if i get the stock piston arms and crank and keep the 1.6 pistons that wont fit in the 1.6 the 1.6 has a stroke of 83.6mm and the bp has a stroke of 85mm all i was wondering is if it would fit

I just said. Different blocks.
No.
Crank is a different length, cylinder spacing is different, journals probably aren't the same size.

BP crank won't fit in a B6. The stroker B6 idea is dumb. If it could work, it'd probably be no better than a stock BP anyway.
-Meh, Ryan, you beat me.
Ryan, stroker kits are for V6's too!
Like the 4.3L 350hp V6 stroker for tbirds and mustangs. *drools*

the gains from a stroker kit are directly proportional to how many cylinders you have
I want a stroker kit for my rotary...

@ mazdaman222
Look for a stroker kit for the 1st gen miata with the 1.6L
They were more popular a few years ago, but the older miatas either have them, or have been junked, so no demand = no supply.
Good Luck

I just found a 4.6L stroker kit for the B6 on a Miata forum...

Unless, by "stroker kit" you mean, "take old crappy B6 out and drop in Ford 4.6L modular motor" Even then, I hope its at least a cobra motor.
