why billet instead of forged?
"I'm a Teaspoon, not a mechanic"
"There is hardly anything in the world that a man can not make a little worse and sell a little cheaper" - John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
AU$TRALIA... come and stay and PAY and PAY!!! The moral high horse of the world!
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
well the toyota forged item is not up 2 the task
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
uh.. iirc forged are generally stronger than billet? The only reason billet cranks exist is that the forging process is astronomically expensive.
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
Even forged the only ones I'm aware of are Jun as HKS discontinued their stroker kit quite a long time ago. Perhaps contact Terry at Road & Track and see if his supplier can still make them up on order. http://www.mr2australia.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10350 not going to be cheap though.
If in doubt power out
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
i believe crower can do custom for around $2500, check with totenkopf. pretty sure he got a quote for one.
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
I am still interested in getting a billet crankshaft. Brian Crower can do them, lead time is pretty big and they usually require samples. If we are persistant I am sure we can work something out.
May not work too well if you want standard 3SGTE stroke though, as I am chasing 91mm stroke item.
Re: who makes billet 3sgte/ge cranks
Right, I've started speaking with Brian Crower. I am personally interested in a 3SGTE crank with 91mm stroke (same as 5SFE, what all the stroker pistons are based off of). I pretty much need to get some justification for them to make 3SGTE crankshafts, as they are unsure if there would be enough interest. Normal RRP would be around $1900USD from what they tell me. I'd probably be looking at getting a batch of 5 stroker cranks from them as an initial GB. They said if I ordered five they could do them for $1500 each.
Anyway, how much interest would there be in 3SGTE stroker crankshafts or just plain 3S cranks? I'll probably make a standalone post on this subject.
