Has anyone used the Brian Crower 2.9L RB stroker kit yet?

What max rpm and power do you run?/can it take

I haven't used one, but I was at GT Art today and Gary had good things to say about this kit - he seemed to think that it's a steal for the money they're asking for it. I'd talk to him about it if I were you.

Just has a look on the BC site and the stroker kit looks pretty good. Cant see any prices though....out of interest does anyone know ROUGHLY what the full kit costs????

can it use 87.5mm pistons? I'm currently casually shopping for s full stroker kit to put in my spare longblock.

87.5 mm is pushing the limits a bit on wall thickness.

I think Gary said it was around $4,500 (US).

I've just looked at their site too: can't find the stroker kit for the RB26 - can you post the link please?

without being OTT, and for the sake of accuracy - its actually a 2.85L using 87.5mm pistons, but at 87.5mm id be concerned the block has been weakened too much for 800bhp+

pistons: i'd be happier using 87mm = 2.82L or 86.5mm = 2.79L [think i got the displacement rduction correct]

So its more of a 2.8L kit for high power - but very good price compared to the competition, what compression pistons to go for would be the next choice? want up to 2.0 or 2.1bar on 99ron pump fuel, so 8:1 or 8.3:1 ? or lower?

will a 79mm stroke take 9200rpm+ ?

any thoughts?

Ummm,
yep, 87.5mm be a bit dodgy for a grunty engine.

You sleeve the block .....!!
Probably using the darton sleeves right beside the stroker kit add.....

lol

A couple of pictures of my Crower full counter crank. Looks to be made well. 1000 bhp limit

paul: is that lighter or more weight than a standard crank?

IIRC some aftermarket cranks are more,some are less?

kjansch · 10th July 2008, 08:57 PM

From the horse's mouth - had an email from them today, price is $5,513 + carriage, which he quotes at $345 to the UK (fed ex).

I guess that there'd be import duty on top of that too - so, it's not really as cheap as it first seemed
