That is correct... for a very long time Dynapak and Mustang dyno's were the only "load bearing" dynos vs the inertia dynos like Dyno jet... which honestly arent THAT different.. with the MINI we regularly found a 10 WHP diff.. but when you have cars making 1000 WHP sometimes you see a 30% diff... thats where it matters...

But Dynojet steped up to the plate... changing thier software to account for load.. and also I belive have made some mechanical changes now too...

 

At the risk of looking like a complete and total noob. All that piping on the front in that picture up there is the intake track. Is that right?

 

yes.. you are correct

 

Pfft, my Chrysler Town and Country will destroy that. Come on Jan, give me a challenge

 

yes Iggy... I have learned... NEVER MESS WITH THE TOWN & COUNTRY

a true sleeper car if there ever was one

word has it you dropped a 426 Keith Black Hemi in it

 

Thats old news man. I also added in a Mopar Performance Parts DVD Player and these bad boys.



Made from 100% authentic sweaty Yak hair. You think Recaro or Sparco seats hold you well? Then you haven't felt the cling of Yak hair on a hot day.

 

wow... I never had a chance
what were your lap times?

 

I had Yak for dinner in Colorado. Now I know what they did with fur.

Longboard

 

And you dont make 400 whp here in Massachusetts and stay street legal. Don't know how you do it in Cali.

Pesky emissions and inspections...Same crap that keeps out cool steering wheels etc.

that red car is a purpose. Built race car

 

Yeah but tuls was talking about working on the street hp. Unfortunately not much from the race car tech would get past the #$#%@^ inspectors. They are starting to stop ALL non oem exhaust. SO while its neat to mention on the street, getting it there legally is a pipe dream.

Its even spilling over to motorcycles and the aftermarket don't seem to be putting up a fight.

Love the numbers. Just wish I could get some more to my mini but Mass RMV isn't friendly.


Paul

 

that's what is great about the stroker as it looks stock

 

Great point.

The under hood of Jan's GP looks just like it came from the factory.

Longboard

 

Do those seats bring back any horrid memories Jan?

 

There are plenty of ways to get around emissions inspections, in any state, including MA and CA.

 

where there is a will there is a way... I am not going to go into detail about it.. but I grew up in New England... granted things have gotten more stringent... but there is always a way...

OOORR... MOVE! there are PLENTY of free states left... and or find some family that has a home in a free state... and Reg it there...

COME ON PEOPLE!

the way I see it.. if you can't find a way to get it done on your own with out someone telling you... then you dont deserve it! LOL

 

does this ring a bell?

who thinks the smog police will bother you with this?





wait.......... what is this? stock pulley?

 

If you want to push the envelope regarding emissions testing, that is your choice. You may succeed; you may not. At the end of the day, you will need to pass the sniff test. You may be able to dodge the visual inspection if you are lucky to get a tech who is not familiar with aftermarket headers and OEM vs. aftermarket highflow catalytic converters. But if you can't pass the sniff test, your car isn't going to get its registration sticker. And once you fail the sniff test, a record gets created in the computer system in Sacramento (for California registered cars) and the scrutiny is much tighter for the re-test. Registering your car out of California has its own risks related to fraud on the registration process (it is all about money going to the state - they get rather obsessive about that), so you still have to recon with the sniff test.

 

LOL yea.. I understand how it works... my point is.. that's the way it is... so deal with it... other wise... don't complain about living someplace that has those laws... I have been modding/working on cars since I was a wee lad thanks to my family... and well, like I said, where there's a will there's a way. It's a free country, and I intend to live that way...

also, a TUNED car.. usually runs much leaner than a factory one... which means... it's better for the environment!

so, other than no cat or something extreme like that (coughtestpipecough) passing the sniffer is the easiest part...

anyway, I am not trying to argue... just tired of people complaining cause they live some place or don't have the "ability" to get things done.

Honestly, if you cant figure it out, you prolly shouldn't be driving a car that fast. LOL



By "you" I mean the general population Caminifan... just quoting for reference

 

 

nice

 

I don't think anyone answered you yet, so I'll take. Yes, thats the basics. Swapping out the old, shorter throw crank for one with a longer stroke, hence the term "stroker". This usually requires a new rotating assembly like rods and pistons as well. The actual distance the piston travels is what changes. Longer travel=more displacement. More displacment=more torque. More torque=more HP. As far as price goes, prolly no less than 3500. More like 4500-5k is my guess.

 

i can see this scenario;
a: send entire engine or car to jan to do the build and obviously the necessary tune.providing he has an engine dyno . ? for guys too far to bring their cars i can see a problem . sending the engine , then having someone else tune it would (of course ) void warranty . so an engine dyno i think would be key . where's jan located?

 

I think buying it as a crate motor would make the most sense. Jan's in Socal.

 

we are NOT selling the parts to make the stroker, due to the complexity of doing the sleeving CORRECTLY, we are not offering that at this point in time. In the future we will but we want to make sure the kit comes off right without the possibility of the machine shops to do it incorrectly.


we will be doing the tuning on all of the engines as I have maps for the stroker kit This will be included in the kit price alone with cam and injectors
