Re: B18 Stroker Cranks... Tuner Toys wants your opinions.
my car has under 200hp. it has whopped on several higher HP cars. it all depends what you want. remeber that.
lets not turn this into that sorta thread...
on another note, Craig, I see no reason why you shouldnt run the product IMO. And the only way to get any sorta knowledge is to get one and check it out yourself. Like a few others said, if you offer the crank your going to have to offer the rods and pistons to go with it, im sure you were aware of that though....

Craig,
Mainly honda-tech. and then the local guys from the shop i work at love all motor
I have built 1 motor using a b20a crank with a modified jeep main bearing/thrust washer and the rest honda bearings, it was a pretty interesting setup. still runs to this day. reving out to 9000 rpm's and making 280 hp. Only downfall is you have to shave the sides of the block because the crank/rods hit. its not to much tho... well i guess there is two downsides, he only makes about 10 passes and changes his rod bearings.

yeah Craig, the B16A, B16B, B17A1, B18C, and B18A/B & B20B/Z all share the same main bearings, flywheel bolt pattern, and crank snouts... now the rod journals are different withs and you will need the correct set of rods for them. i also remember people using [modified] B20A5 cranks in B18 motors, think the Crower cranks where based of these?

Re: B18 Stroker Cranks... Tuner Toys wants your opinions.
Its much much easier to engineer and manufacture a rod than it is a crankshaft. There are way more stresses and the quality of the machining is much more important on a crankshaft. I have seen a few fatigue fractures with crankshafts and it would make me nervous to run something that isnt quite proven. I would send it to a machine shop and get their opinion.

Re: B18 Stroker Cranks... Tuner Toys wants your opinions.
your biggest problem is going to be the fact that its a relatively unknown manufacturer, and nobody has any numbers to back these babies up.
get yourself a motor making good hp with one of these cranks to prove the quality, and i think they would sell like hotcakes
