i remember a few of the jdm kits claiming that they didn't use oem parts. i'm assuming the 4g64 crank is what they were talking about. are there any aftermarket cranks? i'll probably go with the 4g64 ne way but i was just curious.

 

The best advice I can give you is talk to the shop doing the work, as each shop will have different recommendations.

AMS, Buschur, Magnus, Road/Race and others out there will all have different ideas of what they like and work best.

Give them a call and they can provide the best recommendations for you.

In the end, go with who you feel most comfortable with.

 

I'm gonna try to do all the work myself. SO i will definitely be best friends with whichever company i go with.

 

Thanks Greg i've been eyeing that kit plus t's a good price. Does anyone have this kit?

 

i've been looking for manley rods because i have heard great things about them. anyone have them and where did you get them... prices?

 

Can anyone recommend a good head shop in the chicagoland area. While i'm off the topic, where's an awdyno in chicagoland? i must suck at searching or something cuz i can't find one.

 

http://www.forresterracingheads.com/products.html They do all of AMS heads.

Also, I believe the Porche Exchange and GRD have a AWDS in Chicago.

Look under the Midwest Region forum for more info about shops and info in Chicago.

 

thanks!

Buschur is using Crower rods and a specially desinged piston with very favorable charateristics for stroker use. He has reported to me 9,000 plus rpms with no ill results. I intend to fully test this storker to the limits of physics.

 

Let us know how high you ring it out to, as I am also interested in purchasing the Buschur stroker kit.

 

i am also very interested

 

Al, quick couple of questions for you. At these high of RPMs, how long do you think the motor will last? A entire racing season?

For someone like me that does not want to ever replace the motor again, what do you believe are the limits to a Buschur Built 2.3 Stroker Motor? Wouldn't more that 8000rpms really be pushing it.

Would getting the block/rods/pistons/crank cryoed & the rods shot peened / and pistons and crank coated increase the longevity of the motor?

 

So if I was to get a 4g64 crank what stops me from building my own stroker. Shops like Bushur and AMS, what do they have thats so different? Could I just get a 4g64 crank and pick which ever rods and pistons i want and assemble it?

 

I will ask the master himself to come on here and respond
