Actually, gurgen didnt get the AEBS stroker kit. He bought the AEBS sleeves. They are bored out standard size....3.5L. But my point was that becuase the walls are so fricken thick and solid, you have MUCH more room to bore out further...if that is what you wanted. Its a way of increasing displacement and power, without resorting to something as drastic and expensive as the stroker kit.

 

I think he just got it sleeved and not the Stroker kit so it would not come already 4.3.

 

hey Guys

thanks for the comments. Like sharif sad, I didn't get the full stroker, the bore size is 3.760, perfect to fit the 3.757 stoc size pistons. Just boring it out yields about 3.8-3.9 L. It's the increased stroke (thanks to the $3K crank) that brings the displacement to 4.2L. Of course, I can always decide to get the crank and bore out the sleeves even more (slapping myself across the face for even thinking this..) if I blow my engine again. LOL

 

eh, i want someone to get the 4.3 and get that ball rolling...

 

Z1 Auto has a customer that has an AEBS stroker kit and Greddy tt kit (using bigger turbo's) according to my friend. Who has ridden in it twice and had to buy two new pairs of pants.

 

That's too bad... I was hoping to see a 430Z emblem on the back of your ride!

 

why didn't you get it o-ringed? it's cheap insurance.

 

yeah ive heard about that, there is a guy here named brian who owns a turbo shop called BNR who reworked his(georgia guy) greddy turbos and put in larger compressor wheels and what not, ive heard its a beast.

 

Let's get those people on here and post some dynos and timeslips :P

 

All well and good to bore the sh*t out of the sleves, but ................where are you going to get head gaskets?????

I've looked into it, and as to my knowledge, NO ONE makes them!

Please prove me wrong!

 

THe head gasket is custom made for them by a company that specializes in head gaskets (i have heard the name before...jsut can't place it now).

cosmetic head gasket?

if you increase your bore size don't you have to machine the combustion chamber of the heads to match the larger bore?

 

Not sure about that... i think so..

 

it's cometic, no s. and no you don't have to open up the combustion chamber, it just becomes extra quench area.

 

Do you have a sourse/link to the Cometic head gasket? I'm looking into a .050 over bore. (Don't tell anyone! )

 

i am 95% sure they dont have an application for our car yet. I checked a while back...if anyone DOES find anything out..please let me know.

 

I would call Dave at AEBS and ask him who makes the gasket for them... He will tell you (can't see why not).

 

Cosmetic can always mak custom ones for you.

What mm pistons are you getting?
