AZGhost623 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) This caught my eye.. Original super short pin height forged pistons (89mm/89.25mm/89.5mm) Pin Height 26.8mm pin diameter 20mm new design on eye only. Long beam connecting rod weight 430g, core material 138.5mm 86mm full counter crank.List price at the time is ¥865,200 ($8700 ish US). All custom made by these guys. Its a real shame there isnt a specialty place in the US that can do things like this. Would love to get their N42 SPL head, which is half the cost of the Kameari SPL head it looks like... Sold and manufactured by these guys: http://www.as-watanabe.com/ Edited October 22, 2013 by AZGhost623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There is, they just have an exclusive distribution agreement with Japan so they don't sell their crank here... LA Billet Crank will make you any-thing-you-want, longtime, G.I. You just need moaney to get kissy-kissy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGhost623 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I sent those guys an email last night asking some questions on their parts. They sent me quite a few emails back including their catalog and said no problem shipping to US. In a additional email he sent after the catalog, contained lots of pictures/videos and info on his personal car that runs a 10 second 1/4 mile on his 'house parts' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csm2_xqjQ0Y This car, "Big Green" is apparently the big brother to the Wood Village S30. Without a CAD file, or knowing all the mechanical specs of the crank Im think I would get very far with LA Billet/Crank. I dont think an 86mm crankshaft for an L28 is going to get me very far without more specific details.

Xnke Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Then get a stock crank and measure it out! Crank design is less intuitive than it appears at first glance...but if you're only giving the specs, then it *is* as easy as it sounds.

PMC raceengines Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) We do the same sort off kit with a longer stroke 89mm or 90mm billet 3.4 kit , the road kit is 89mm and cost $6000 US dollers the race 90mm kit will set you back about 9000 with all the gear Edited October 31, 2013 by PMC raceengines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you can do just as well getting a local place (within the our shores) to do that package or just a crank. My email exchanges with places in Japan have sometimes consisted of interrogation of what my plans are and then them telling me what they will sell me, rather than letting me buy anything I want. Not always nice and easy window shopping as we are use to. Nice parts though. Edited November 2, 2013 by josh817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the world of people who know what they're doing, and won't let you screw it up no matter how hard you want to! I find it interesting how resentful people get by competent engineering analysis of a project with goals BEFORE embarking on the build, instead of as to goes along...

josh817 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I was pissy about it before, not anymore. I still disagree with the method (I will find other ways to achieve) but my point was if you want to venture into that market just know what your build is for and your needs.

1vicissitude Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Pretty cool stuff. Although if you are interested in Kameari parts I have noticed if you order through places like rhdjapan the parts are much more affordable than going through other better known US sources of their parts. Here the spl head is only $4,156.47 haha http://www.rhdjapan.com/kameari-l-type-spl-cylinder-head-upgrade-camshaft-pistons-springs-l6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
