hey has anyone installed a stroker kit on the coupe yet?

wondering how well the gains are from it and if its worth while

 

For around the same money (install will be expensive) you're probably better off with a gtm supercharger, and you'd see more gains.

 

I am wondering about that too. I want something that isn't going to be as volatile as FI. Hey OP, if you find any info on it through it up here.

 

well i was thinkinh stroker kit then down the line get a TT setup on it too or just leave it with the stroker kit. im really interested to see the gains people have gotten with them and how hard of an install it was

 

I dont think anybody had talked about a stroker kit on this website. It's mostly all FI here. GTM had installed a stroker and TT on a 370z, but I haven't heard anything about just a stroker kit. You'd probably have to call GTM about it. I dont have the funds to do it now so I haven't called then, but if YOU do let me know what they say.

 

Ive seen threads on here of people talking about them but i dont think anyone has actually installed one in our cars yet.

 

If I may ask, are you planning on tracking your car or just for the streets and occasional canyon runs?

 

I remember one guy owned 350z did it here in local shop , he rebuilt his engine (35de i think) with custom stroker kit 4.2 litres with high pressure (not for turbo use).
Starting HP i think was around 400 which is nice , but it is costly and also needs time.

 

it'll definately be more reliable than FI at around the same power but much better drivability and simplicity. Plus if you ever want to you can always add FI and get even more power.

 

GTM sells the HR(I didn't see VHRs but similar cost I am sure) stroker long blocks for $12,000-15,000 plus a core charge of $1,500 bucks then you need to install it A TT kit is $8,000 and SC kit is about $6,000 plus install so about 1/2 the cost of a stroker engine. Strokers are for guys with massive budgets and are usually used with forced induction due to the high cost and on it's own a stroker kit will not give huge power gains. Basically the $/hp amount is much higher with a stroked engine than it is with a FI kit.

^Both those kits fit our motor.....I mean overall for a full TT build from GTM your going to pay around 12,000 installed (Stage II) I've seen people get the same gains (550-600 on pump gas) from a stroker kit and engine build running about the same price...I'm talking about holistically with all the supporting modifications these are the prices people have said they paid.

As a daily driver the stroker kits going to be much safer. I agree with you on the bang for buck level but who wouldn't love N/A power and reliability.

I have never heard of a stroker motor alone making anywhere near 500whp. Please provide a link to to the people making that kind of power? I have seen Advertisments for TT kits installed for $10,000, that is less than the cost of the stroker alone.
