Spoolup

I will be assembling the new stroker bottom end soon. The custom rods arrived today This will be run on my exact same setup that I have used with the 3.0L bottom end. Same turbo, head, comp ratio, cams, exhaust, etc etc So I will be able to overlay my previous setup compared with the stroker engine ( ie dyno power and torque curves ) So a straight up comparison will be available.

I knew there was something I forgot :-) Thanks Greg "and machine the outside of it to allow it to fit down the bore" Allow a easy $130 plus per rod to get all the machining done, plus the intitial cost of the rods.

I reply to all my emails usually within 24 hrs - so I obviously didnt get yours. I never reply to PM's Sorry if I didnt reply to your phone message, but as I only have one number I do get alot of them.

This has been covered numerous times, You will find it more expensive to do this procedure than to buy a set of rods designed for RB30 As mentioned about 2 mm is require to be machined off the b/e and small end sides, the small ends then need to be rebushed, the bearings also need to be narrowed, the b/e tunnels then need to be resized due to the narrowing process distorting the b/e tunnel of the rod. From memory 60thou Chev bearings are required, and then the std crank has to be machined 7 thou to suit the new b/e tunnel size.

Balanced but not knife edged.

I have received the 2 x 95mm stroke cranks. I am going to build a new bottom end for my engine using one of them. I will use the exact same supporting parts ( head, turbo, cams, exhaust etc etc ) as on my current RB30/25. This way I can do a back to back comparison between the two engines ( apples to apples ) and overlay the two dyno charts. By doing this there will be something to compare the stroker crank setup to, as opposed to just building a completely new engine and having no base as a comparison. I am just waiting on the new rods to go with the cranks and I can start the build. Ill post up some pics of the cranks soon.

The DE head has much smaller intake ports than the turbo head - The NEO turbo head has the same size intake, exhaust ports and valve as the R33DET head.

Trial cranks due next week

I have 2 RB30 stroker crank samples , 12 custom rods and 12 custom CP pistons due mid July. A trial engine will be assembled and run, then if all is ok production will start. So hopefully all things being equal Ill have kits ready to go Nov/Dec this year. I just received my first CA18 and SR20 stroker cranks - pics or of CA18 87.6mm

Ive never broken one - engine has been in the car two years ?? Somethings wrong somewhere

Hey Ariel Would you send the head to Bris :-)

I never even considered oil squirters in the design - so Ill wait until I get the crank and will have to see.

The pistons are 20 thou over so ( 86.5 ), they will also be available in 40 ( at some point ). The rods are a custom H Beam. Drop in kit for stock block is the aim :-)

Prototype crank is about to go into production, rods and pistons have been designed. Still all a few months away - but its all happening :-)

87.6mm stroker cranks due around April :-)

We will have to wait and see - but similar setups with the 3.4L 2JZ ( near identical bore stroke ratio ) have gone 8000 plus easily enough

Just email me and we can discuss it further.

Im about to send 4 x rb30 short motors to Denmark. Freight for all for is about $600 AUD. email me is you want some help sourcing cranks, short motors etc. [email protected]

Shaun O - around the $6500 - 7000 mark with the AUS dollar at its current rate. It should see 7500 - 8000 plus rpm depending on setup. Gerg R31 - The reason is that you are the only person who has mentioned it, so Im presuming demand is minimal especially due to the price involved. The other reason is that no one readily and easily makes cast pistons in short runs or one offs. I could easily make you a forged piston for an NA set up though. You would just have to spec the comp ratio you require. The length of the skirt has nothing to do with the comp ratio.

It will be a kit, custom crank, custom rods and custom pistons. I wont be making any N/A pistons - sorry

The subaru stroker crank uses stock length rods, and a custom piston. So its a relatively easy build :-)

I have the limiter set at 8100 now. The customer who ordered the Subaru cranks uses them in the EJ25 blocks from memory - std stroke on the ej25 is 79mm, but I believe they can be used in the EJ20 engine also which is 75mm stroke std and they resleeve them out to 100mm bores. So you end up with around 2.6 litres Im no Subaru head either :-) so I may be wrong
