he was being a smart ass period

would more people do a 2.4 crank in their engines I would say probably so but there is no real solution for a flywheel unless you got a hookup at zzp for their flywheel but then not everyone likes or wants a light weight wheel so is this a better stronger and for once not an over priced aftermarket performance part that we could use

 

That's funny.

Selfish is saying don't make it because I don't understand or appreciate it and since I don't then nobody else should be able to buy one. That's selfish.

 

josh keep doing what youre doing man. its all about the future of these cars.

 

2.7 crank!!!!!!!!

Of Ur Gona have a crank made might as well go big

Crower made the cranks for the drag race ecotecs. They had a 2.7 stroker super light crank. They spun it to 12,000 rpm. Made 340 HP at the crank in the NA car

 

Yum

 

Id like a 2.5 or 2.7 crank

 

That's a huge stroke. It would for sure burn oil and need rebuilt very often. I bet you would need a longer sleeve also. The 2.4 stroke is proven reliable for a dd and I think is the best bet.

 

That's a lot of cash. But, I admit. I would think long and hard about it. I'm in the process of buying an engine to re-build and would like to know more about this.

 

I would def be down 2.4l sounds good since im rebuilding a block I brought recently maybe somewhere around 1100 for the crank Though 2k idk. I support any and all mods lots of ppl make parts for evos some.won't use why knock ThIS least it's available. Instead of using a2.4 block and only coming to 2.1 after adding.the bottom end you can use your block and bolt in 2.4L makes sense instead.of ppl pulling out motors.

 

no its not for a crank

I can get sleeves to with that crank to make it a 2.7

 

Alright thank you. By "custom" piston, what exactly do you mean? Would you be able to provide these parts as well in a package deal?

I would love to have someone build me a block to purchase with this setup to test out. How does the idea of dunning this with a bigger turbo setup sound? I would be willing to try this with the stock turbo first to see how it would do, then move up to a bigger turbo setup.

 

anyone that thinks this is a lot of money for a crank doesnt have a clue. Anyone ever see how much the billet gmr cranks cost????? Josh whos making the cranks? Feel free to pm me if you want and ill keep it behind closed doors. But unless its someone really good i wouldnt consider this.

 

I think this would be a great idea. Do the crank, your rods and whoever's pistons and sell as a packaged deal.

 

Custom because they aren't sized like a stock LSJ anymore.

More displacement always works better with boost, it's just not always as high-rpm friendly. This would be great on a healthy sized turbo.

 

Really? That's your response? You obviously don't know me at all.

 

I personally believe this is a great option for some people. I have always preferred a short stroke (my screen name) though.I remember the day I bought my car and the big grin I got from the fast rev of the stock motor.

The quote wasn't in reference to you, but take is as you will. Makes no difference whatsoever.

 

What is the projected date of purchase?

 

I can have them in about 2 months.

 

1.) ROCKSTAR_SS - LNF; include necessary pistons and rods for stock block/bore

 

Hmmm...this just opened up another option for when I build a motor

 

Few points

1. Designing a crankshaft is not easy. Balance, crank flex, weight clearances and many more things come into play. One vendor to another Josh, you can't do this. not unless the guy making it is the one designing the whole thing.

2. It's a poor way to discuss this when you say '2.4 stroke'. 2.4 is a result of the bore and stroke. A 2.4 crank in a 2.0 block would give you ~2.3 liters.

3. If someone really wants to do this, you should start where ZZP left off a long time ago posting about the 2.5 crank from GM on our FB page. The new motors (we call them Gen 4) have tons of advancements over the gen 1, 2, and 3 blocks we discuss here. The 2.5 crank is a drop in. In terms of the block, you just have to deal with bearings, balancer, and some other things. It's 8 bolts but the bolts are 1mm larger than the 2.0 so it's even better. Finally, the 2.5 GM crank is forged and only $400 with reluctor installed.
