I don’t know how many of you use Facebook and may have already seen this.

 

There is now a new stroker kit on the market designed by Mitch at EP Racing. It uses a custom Billet crank, custom Saenz con rods and CP Pistons to take displacement to 3.2L, (the same as the Jun kit does)

 

 

That particular kit is going into an engine for a UK customer (who, as far as I’m aware isn’t on this forum)

 

Pricing isn’t publicised, but from the chats I’ve had with with I “believe” it’s cheaper than the Jun kit

 

Nice to see new stuff still coming out for the VG30

Agreed! Is he just competing on price or are there other differences? The JUN kit comes in at JPY 950,00 (£6,500).

That I honestly don’t know. I don’t think he’s specifically marketing it to compete on price.

 

I’ll see if I can get him to post up on here to go into the specifics

It would be great if the "UK customer" (Amir) could post on here with his project too.

Pricing is $6500 for the 1400hp capable kit (the one pictured) or there is the option to use a 300M material for the rods which boosts it up to 1700hp capable!!

Well I hope they don't forget the block is at least 28 years old metal if they are trying to do that

That's a good thing its a strong iron block then.

Obviously you wouldn’t use the OE crank girdle at those power levels, but Mitch also makes billet cradle caps (not sure if they’re part of the kit or not) that when tied down with the correct spec bolts have a proven record at holding ultra high power..... this engine uses them

I think it goes without saying, anything above 1000hp is competition level stuff, in which case it would usually be subject to frequent strip downs like any other ultra high hp engine would

He is not the only one making something to strengthen the bottom end:
