lewis Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Im looking at a brian crower stroker kit to use on the car. Does any one have any experiences with these kits or any stroker kits in general concerning reliability. The reason were looking at stroker kits is because the car will be used for competition drifting and were after alot of torque. We feel stoker kits will give us more torque than an FI engine [does anyone disagree with this comparing 2 engines of the same hp one 3.5ltr FI and one 4.2ltr N/A?]. Its also down to cost as the kits cost the same as a FI kit but with the FI you also have to cop out for a compression change [which is alot in it self]. We are opting-out from a turbo set up as heat management will be a nightmare with the confined spaces high rev usage and inconsistant airflow.[and due to the current hatred i have of my current turbo'd drift car] Any advice/theories/pointers/recomendations/questions are more than appreciated. cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Adam at Z1 auto had a thread saying he is currently building a 4.15 N/A engine. Not aware of anyone else doing it in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 a std aps tt kit will give you 400lb/ft torque from relatively low rpms afaik (should be some dyno pulls here somewhere stroker kits are still a big question mark in the US, nevermind the UK market! AEBS was a nightmare (never worked properly) iirc and not much info first hand on the JUN more info on link below http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Stroker_Kit currently the only stroker kit that hasn't given many issues as far as the public is aware of (you never know what goes on behind doors of builds like these... ) is the GTM one on Alex's (NitrouZ) car with an APS Extreme TT kit. nevr really seen much about strokers (and their numbers/results) on NA Zeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
