Depending on the kit they most likely won't be able to be used on a stroker setup. You would have to run it past your strocker crank supplier.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Steve

ye forging is too expensive anyway..

when are guys going to order the goods ?? im in the process of pulling the engine apart
really need the forged pistons as there cheaper then the other ones from the states

im going to go with spool h beam forged conrods
but unsure on the cam, do you guys have any forged cams for the vr ?

As for ordering the pistons as soon as we get enough numbers we'll be ordering them. Still need a few more people to make it happen unfortunately :(

As for the cams that's easy, as all of the cams we supply are new billet cams

It's just that the pistons for these engines are a real pain :(

with me on the list isnt there enough i think the original post said you need 8 atleast,
im going to put a post in vn-vp and vr-vs sections so that they all know theres a group buy on.
yes it is a pain finding pistons, i was told to get pistons from zz performance, but on the site says they are for series 2 and 3, and our l27 is a series 1 ! so i dont know how that guy used them.

how many more do we need ?, because i really really want a set of these lol, my engine is sezied so i plan on replacing the whole bottom end to be sure it will be fixed, since im not a mechanic but i think ill do a better job then my mechanic.

Since I posted that figure up, things have changed, and we need atleast 10 people to go ahead with it all.

"im going to put a post in vn-vp and vr-vs sections so that they all know theres a group buy on."
That would definitely help

"yes it is a pain finding pistons, i was told to get pistons from zz performance, but on the site says they are for series 2 and 3, and our l27 is a series 1 ! so i dont know how that guy used them."
He probably didn't or he may have misunderstood your question.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Steve

I am pretty keen and not in a great hurry.

Just to confirm, these will suit a VN series 1 motor yes?

And is it 8 or 10 people? The original post still says 8 doesn't it ?

They'll fit on a S1 engine. As for the numbers we need at least 10 people, if not more, as I'm reluctant to stock any sets now :(
