Taiwan crankshaft 94mm / 100mm

[gIGoN]

Anyone tried those taiwan crankshaft before? Is it reliable?

 

[DanzEterna]

i dun think so bro rather invest more & get made in japan or usa ones.

 

[gIGoN]

yea...would love to know if anyone tried using those for race applications...would it be reliable after a full engine balancing is done?

 

[H22-C]

is that very much cheaper ?

 

[gIGoN]

it's almost half the price of those top aftermarket cranks with knife edge counterweights

 

[H22-C]

knife edge counterweights ? r u talking about billet one?
how about 4G64 crank ?

..the only regret i have is for those sellers who announced the crankshaft as stroker-kits appliances..where as the only thing in offer is the stroke-up aftermarket crankshaft..

i believe (sorry if i was wrong) a stroker kits should consist of those mentioned aftermarket/custom crankshaft, its con-rod along with pistons..only then suits to be known as stroker kits..and relatively contribute to its price-tag..

the price?? hurmm..the same reasons why plenty of sellers sellin the same i prefered to cite as "label X" products but differ greatly in terms of prices..
at the end..the final part is the freedom given to customers on makin up their own decision..

the taiwans are made from billet 4043 crankshaft just like those top aftermarket ones. they have both 94mm and 100mm cranks (= 4g64 crank).

we know those taiwan products are no quality but i just wanna know if anyone have tried those crankshaft and used it for racing applications. I prefer proof rather than assumptions.

..sorry.not from my knowledge if there is any of my frenz or even me on using it..

talking bout proof will directed the question back to the fundamental issues..the never-ending debate on genuine brand vis-a-vis China's/Taiwan's/copycat products (popular known as E-Bay products in international market)..

some may said i had used the XxX ayam brand turbo with maximum tortures and yet it still survived excellently..some may said it failed right after the front gate of the workshop..

others will emphasizing on the doubt have anyone tried this and that before and after..

so i'll reserved my next comment on ONLY proof provided on those cranks..TQ

what is the application you plan to do ? 9000 rpm?

 

[egb18c]

yupe yupe.we need proof! still eying on that cheap taiwan/china made turbo.but theres not a lot of people using it.huhu

 

[Cheah Boon Kae]

Not all the china & taiwan made product are junk ...
Now even Tomei's 4g63 stroker kit & Eagle's conrod are made in china ...
Taiwan are producing some good quality Big Brake Kit too ...

My opinoin, internal item should be used with safety and reliability. Its relate to evrything in the engine, you just imagine once it go wrong it will consume everything (depend on you luck). If you want to save, go for US brand it will be more cheaper compared to japan. Anyway, my favourite still JUN though it's damn expensive. Good luck

 

[H22-C]

yes, i agree with Slowboy, better save money on other parts rather than engine internal.

research which i've done is that, even if u use mix and match internal parts (crank / rod /piston) you would still have problem if you dont go for full engine balancing, especially if u're using it for racing purposes. So wat triggers me is that what if we use those taiwan rods with aftermarket rods and pistons and go for full engine balancing, would it outputs big numbers during dyno? plus, could it withstand those regular wot usages since it's made frm 4043 billet.

anyway, most stroker cranks out there (tomei, manley, ams, buschur) are all using oem cranks for their 100mm (unless it's the knife edge type). got those infos from evolutionm.net by their respective dealers.

i don't really mind if it's made in china or taiwan as long as the material they use are from quality materials. Most stuffs are made there due to cheap labor cost and financially beneficial but materials are all imported, it's just made or assembled there.
