BenZed Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 This is a very exciting new product coming soon from OS Giken. The stroker kit for L-series 6-cylinders will offer 85mm stroke and 88mm bore for around 3103cc capacity. I have no pricing or other information yet, but I will post it up as soon as I know. In the meantime Kameari do offer a similar set-up, using a modified LD28 crank to get 85mm stroke, 138mm conrods and 89mm pistons (29mm pin height) for 3171cc capacity. The OS Giken crank will be a much more impressive item, most likely a full-counter-weight billet type, suited to much higher rpm. The conrods appear to be similar to the forged chrome-moly H-beam type in the OS Giken RB30 engine. I better stop writing now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted April 24, 2009 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi Ben, How many Monopoly notes will this set me back? I'd be interested depending on price, gotta hope the euro keeps going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes back on topic - if this is like other OS Giken kit then it will be very nicely produced and top quality product. I am sure many zed fans would love to have some of the OS Giken kit that has been made over the years in their cars. If other custom cranks are anything to go by I would expect to have at least $5000 maybe up to $8000 given how strong the YEN is currently.

BenZed Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 To give you an idea the RB30 crank from OS Giken retails for $7700. The pistons are quite reasonable at $1400, not sure about the rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
620Z Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Show me the money! A brings back memories of building my engine. All the little things keep adding up till you get some rediculous total at the end. A total that had you known when you started might have prevented you from building in the beginning.

fufu Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 This is such a marketing scheme. So sad they aren't going to mass produce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Fu - it's not something that's going to be in big demand - not a lot of people are going to buy something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, lets hope we see a resurgence of 1980's high powered L28's producing in excess of 600HP . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedevan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 how r they made? from a billet, investment cast or something else? you'd think for 30g you could get one machined yourself given you can rip the design from somewhere else (give me a head and i'll cad it up ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The originals were cast from a Wooden mould - so OS Giken must have repaired these as last I heard is that they were a little damaged from the last casting took back in 80's. However technology has moved on a lot so I am sure they would have repaired or replaced the moulds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
