IMHO, I would not use a stroker kit that deletes the oil squirters. They do serve a very important purpose. Now, if you are running a 8sec drag car for one pass, that would be a different story...but for a street/road course car, I would prefer keeping the squirters.

So that points us to GTM. They kits are proven, and tested, and this new drop-in parts kits looks very promising as well.

 

i agree... but so the BC kit is also proven, unless you have another definition for proven...there are a few cars runing BC stroker already with quit a few miles....

but as Julian pointed it just sucks that the instructions werent clear prior to installation for a firt time bc stroker installer, but other than that its fine as Injected has shown and in fact it resulted in the creation of better griddle unit

 

also, there are many cars that dont have oil squirters, the are actually and added bonus...

 

+1 gridles are a big thing... its another strength of the 2jz so i dont think this is a BS part..the pricing could always be slightly better though

 

which you could pick up that added bonus else where and have no issues...

 

Well how many other OEM cars actually have oil squirters in the first place, and what are their longevity expectations? Im guessing your just speculating at this point, as I assume you have not assembled a motor without oil squirters and ran into a longevity problem thus far.
Granted they are nice to have, however the crank will throw up enough oil to keep the proper lubricity on the bottom portion of the pistons.
It just sucks to be us to have to go backwards and do someone elses R&D for them...Since there was little public information available for this stroker kit at the time we purchased it..

 

Yes, I do love a good GRIDDLE CAKE myself at times. LOL....

 

ooops.... * FIXED*

 

You are right, it is just my humble opinion..for what its worth. Very few engines use oil squirters, but most of the high powered engines that people are building...do. 4G63's, VQ35's..etc..etc.

I guess my point, is that if you have two comparably priced stroker kits, one of them that needed machining and modifcations to make it work, and another kit that retains the squirters and has been proven/tested in a few 700-800whp cars...I would pick the latter.

 

I believe GTM's is roughly $850 more expensive than the BC.

 

so costs offset each other then

 

I dont have the price of their new drop-in kit, but it is supposed to be less expensive. Either way, i said "comparable".

 

Thats real sweet.It reminds me of the CNC'd Program main caps for the 2JZ.

 

Alot of engine builders consider oil squirters as internal oil leakers. LOL. Remove those squierters you get more pressure at the rods and mains where you need it.

 

IIRC Running Oil squirters and a dry sump oil setup gets you a 50lb weight penalty in the SCCA World challege series.... Starting one of those race motors is equivalent to running it for 5 hours or so.

 

The retail price or GTM HIGH REV STROKER KIT as follow

PART # GTM-8002-W-HR $4960.03 PARTS ONLY (PISTON ,RODS,CRANK)

Side notes

-kits are balanced(bc kit will require balancing @add cost)
-high speed oiling system crankshaft
-crank shaft is about 5 pound lighter than stock
-no clearance issues
-oil squirters stays

with all the above this is the kit to get plane and simple .
