Chinese Stroker Cranks
#41
True, this is a turbo forum, however not everyone wants (or needs) to run FI.
The biggest advantage to the stroker is torque. If the torque increase meets the needs of a driver (buyer), w/o the complexity and added maintenance of an FI solution, there is a market.
Additionally, in more specialized FI application, the stroker has posibilities as well. If FMs set up wasn't as expensive (and the only option at the time), I would have included it in my build. (Imagine having that crank knife-edged, lightened and balanced...)

Seems neat. I'm not on the market for this anytime soon, but if this had been available when I had the engine apart putting new pistons it would have made a lot of sense, especially if the 2k included the special pistons (assuming they were comparable quality to Wiscos, which I doubt from China). It would basically have turned a 3k build into a 4k build.
If someone was willing to throw in oversized valves while they had the head off, you could end up with a very street driveable big turbo build for not too much extra.
