Hi everyone, The time has come to put my baby up for sale as I need a more practical car these days... I have adored this car from the moment I bought it and am going to be very sad to see it go. Year: 1990 Body (2+0/2+2): 2+0 Colour: Silver with Black bonnet Engine (Turbo/NA): VG33DETT Transmission (MT/AT): Manual Interior (Cloth/Leather): Alcantara Odometer: 124xxx (body) Price: $7000 Contact Details: Josh Parker 3635 5305 pm me for mobile number. Extras: -Brand new 18" wheels 1 month old -Full Tein coilover suspension -Alpine head unit with iPod connectivity -Type R Aline Splits in the rear -Phoenix Gold 2 channel amp -Alpine monoblock -MTX 12" Sub in custom enclosure -Isotta Taledega Limited Edition Black swede racing seats (drivers installed with mod plate) -New engine is a series 2 and has been bored to 3.3L and has forged pistons, metal head gasket, i-beam conrods and an aftermarket crankshaft (i would give more info on this kit if I had it but we didnt want to pull apart the whole motor. Please pm me for any more info. THIS CAR MUST GO! (unfortunately)
Depends on your definition of stroked. It has been bored to 3.3L and it is usually recognised that anything with an enlarged capacity is considered stroked.
Lol! Not really dude. Stroked means longer stroke, not larger bore. And how is it bored out to 3.3L? Max sized piston without sleeves is 40thou (~1mm). Sleeved blockes don't have a real good track record either...
Mike, If it is indeed a 3.3, then one would hope it is bored and stroked; Quote "mungyz 02-11-2008, 05:55 AM Can you bore out a VG30DE block to a VG33 bore size? It was done to at least one VG30DETT over here and it was not successful, the bores were left so thin they were flexing under boost and ..... well lets just say it was rubish. That engine ended up being sleeved and donated to a jet boat project (that could take years to get going and will only ever be a toy). Don't do it would be my advice. 89mm piston max." The ad does say aftermarket crank, so there's a possibly it is stroked.
When we got the new motor from japan we got the head laser measured and acid dipped and all that stuff and we went to replace the head gasket and it wouldnt fit the cylinders were too wide and so we measured it all up and it was a wider bore and I also think that it was shorter stroke but I just cant remember. But I garuntee its all legit.
Its going to be very hard to verify that the motor is stroked, and unfortunatley i think its going to haunt this ad. Either way its a good price for a zed with a built motor.
stroked motor with what turbos, stock or aftermarket.........any dyno charts or power figures to back up your motor would certaily help with sale.....if it is a stroked motor at the price your selling for, its a bargain. also, what is the rear wing, front bodykit is veilside but wing is?
They are standard turbo's and the wing was on the car when I bought it so im not sure what it is. Yes the front bar is Veilside and no I dont have any dyno sheets or 1/4 mile times because that wasnt on the agenda until more work had been done. Basically its a project cut short due to practicality as I wakeboard alot and theres no room for more than just myself in the car when I go riding...
surely it can be ascertained as to whether or not its a stroker crank by pulling a plug and measuring the stroke of the piston through a revolution. Irrelevant of degree of head facing/shaving, a stroker crank should cover more distance/displacement than an oem... or is the difference that negligible that it cannot be determined in such a crude manner? Recall you accidentally discovering this with your replacement motor when you picked up the radiator from me. Still cheap for a rebuilt TT, but insanely cheap if it is a stroker motor. btw- add that the new OEM radiator is less than 1000k's old
Possible, but we're only talking a 3 or 4 mm if it's been bored aswell. A depth micrometer would be the go.
ive been told this motor is stroked by others to but i suggest that you measure it as ozx 320 suggested to clear anything up
