84mm Counterweighted Crankshaft - Forged 4340 - For Use With Chevy Journal Con Rods

SSP has developed this high quality counter-weighted stroker crank with the serious racer in mind.

Multiple die stamp forged from 4340 chromoly (One of the strongeset materials available for crankshafts).

Cranks are then magna fluxed, shot peened and all journals are nitrided, precision ground and micro polished.

Additional features include cross drilled, chamfered oil holes, dynamic balancing, 8 dowel and extra long dowel pins.

This 84mm crankshaft will increase your engine size over the standard 69mm crankshaft fitted to all 1300cc to 1600cc Aircooled VW engines.

Depending on which piston size you are using it will increase your engine size as follows:

• Using standard 1600cc 85.5mm pistons your engine size would increase to 1929cc.
• Using 87mm pistons your engine size would increase to 1997cc.
• Using 90.5mm pistons your engine size would increase to 2161cc.
• Using 92mm pistons your engine size would increase to 2234cc.
• Using 94mm pistons your engine size would increase to 2332cc.

This crankshaft does not use original VW conrod bearings and conrods but special Chevy journals instead.  By using Chevy journal con rods and bearings it creates extra room inside the crankcase as the big end is a lot smaller than the standard VW style conrod.  This means less machine work is required inside the crankcase.

Fitting: Stroker cranks require machining of case and possibly other internal components for rod clearance
