Anyone have any information on the PE stroker kit?
I got these two pictures of it from the PE Japan site, and on the US site it has the third picture - but no information at all that I could find.

there's no information on these parts yet that I'm aware of. I do know the pistons are made by Arias but are a special alloy only PE has. I think higher in silicone content

its a 7:5.1 and forged crank... capable of 700ps i think

I doubt it's 7.5:1 compression. That's beyond ridiculously low haha

They use the JUN stoker kit in the option Z, all 3 of them or how many they have had and wrecked so far. I think they are always around 700-800bhp and rev to around 8000rpm.

Found this also, however, cannot translate because it is a picture rather than text. I do see the number 700 however.

Yeah, screw PE. I don't care how nice their stuff is. If you never receive your stuff, what's the point? There are plenty of other competitor companies out there that make the same quality parts and actually want my business. I hope someone from PE reads this, because the way you guys do business is FLAT OUT HORRIBLE.

I would not say all that. The product quality is great its just the service here in the states suck.

Don't get me wrong, they make some of the best parts, but what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter how good the part is if you never get it. Even if you get it, you still have to worry about them trying to "scam" you some other way. Customer service is essential. I just don't have the patience (or time) for a BS runaround. I'll just take my business elsewhere.

You could be right, I never bought any of my PE parts from the actual PE company. PE parts are always hard to find anyways. So I would never order a PE part unless the vender told me that they had it in stock and was not about to drop ship it to me from the PE company. This way you never have to deal with PE in the states. Its funny because over in Japan PE's costumer service is hard to beat to bad it's terrible here.

Theres always a lot of people "interested" in stroker kits, but nobody who really wants to live up to doing it....
Every time new pics or info come in from Japan for a new stroker kit, everyone is happy and excited, then the pice comes out and they get upset.... since 03 i've seen it hahaha, i find it very comical.

not a flame to anyone in particular, just the topic is all...

In a way you are correct, however, the first kits that came out had problems, at least that is what I read here. Big money for unproven technology.
Now we have some choices, and some might actually work.

Look at these prices of the kits that are availible. Average price is: $8320, and each kit comes with a different parts list - meaning the cheap kit is going to incur more expense for those things that aren't included or they didn't do - example, GT Motorsports is with a sleeved block, the JUN, Brian Crower are not, for example.

No matter how you cut it, that is a large amount of money, considering that it is just the start on the engine build. No matter what kit you get, there will be a lot more to spend.

To be suprised that there are a lot of window shoppers vs. buyers is silly. At those prices, of course that is the case.

Same thing with building a forged engine. Look at how many pistons, rods, etc come up in the classifieds for sale. People buy just some of the parts, realize what the rest will cost, including labor, and decide to bail out. An engine build with a stroker kit, cams and heads or headwork, all the misc. parts, machining, install labor, tuning, etc, could exceed the price of a used 350Z. That, my friend, is a bit of cash, and you are certainly not going to see stroker kits sell like fiberglass front lips.

Here are some retail prices I dug up on the net.
AEBS stroker kit $7800

JUN stroker kit $12000

GT Motorsports stroker kit $8900

PE stroker kit $7640

Brian Crower stroker kit $5260

I like the PE stuff I have, and again, it looks to me that they make quailty parts. USA, USA, USA, is the problem. The PE USA office is like a large blockage of the intestine. They don't let the sheet come out.
