SlickRick Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi guys so I've woken up early been doing some reading and I'm thinking about stroker kits I know you can go up to 4.5l but it just seems like more money, risk & effort than its worth (would make more sense to go FI) However it seems like to go 3.8l apparently it's a "straight forward" crank replacement job. So wondering if anybody has done it, knows how risky adding the 0.3l will be, knows of what kind of work and costs etc.. Any info would be appreciated really. I may just be getting a bit worried as I'm almost ready for the remap and want the best out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Id be intrequed to see what difference going from 3.5 to 3.8 would make. If you compare say the 3.5 HR engine against the 3.7 350z, theres not much in it at all, and certainly when I drove both on the road, I actually "felt" my HR was quicker! I think for the cost involved you`d be better off trying a different approach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickRick Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ye I spoke to Horsham developments about it, I didn't realise I'd still have to rebuild the engine so that's of my list 😂. SC much easier way to gain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 errr yeah you have to do an awful lot of engine strip down (ie, all of it) to get at the crankshaft! You'd have to have money to burn if you were considering a stroker kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) That stroker kit would probably net you 20-30 bhp at the very best . Charge it with a kit from Torqen . Easy make 400-450 fly bhp Or just buy mouthwashs car and sell yours ! Edited August 12, 2015 by Bodyboarder81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So has anybody had the ££ to Stroke AND charge a Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Waste of money if you ask me. We have ready built low compression engines available for 350z DE. Stick a TT kit on it and you're close to 1000bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What about the Brian Crower 4.15L kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So has anybody had the ££ to Stroke AND charge a Z? I think DJTIMO has a charged 3.8. Pete Tim has a TT forged, but not stroked. The only stroked car is Tony420z with his 4.2 Brian Crower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Give torqen a shout. He's already specced and priced my next power investment. Looking forward to it. Next year will be packed! Edited August 12, 2015 by TT350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
