Until CMS actually state it's on the shelf, I'll live in hope that I could see the finished result, then that I could afford it lol. No point being dishonest about it, how many Eseries guys could afford it? Cheers ToranaGuy

Cheers ToranaGuy If people had the funds and wanted to they could do it themselves.....a lot harder for a workshop to do it when they have to consider profitability of testing and producing.

Dohc conversion, I take it a "kit" to drop a DOHC into the e series? Cheers ToranaGuy

What could make it affordable is if all the extra cubes were from only adding stroke and using a piston that falls with in the regular over sizes.
Spool manage to pump stroker cranks for SRs and CAs and RBs They may be prompted to look into a proper stroker crank and rods for the 4L. At least then it could be sold in kit form and people could build their own. CMS could do a deal with spool and have the 4L stuff branded as CMS and sold through CMS. It then leaves Joe to go even further with cubes by matching the stroker crank with a big bore conversion |

Wow what a long read. Shame to see it didnt work in the end but a lot changes in 4 years. I think its a good move to work on the barra as we all know its potential.
Ill be watching with anticipation to see how you go with this. Keep up the good work

I know where your coming from in speaking to someone like spool & the likes but it all comes down to the volume of sales to be expected !!.... unlike the jap market where there looking at increasing cubes as an instant power adder plus theres more or of them & these engines are world wide.....also the funds to continue with this is better well spent elsewhere like buying another dyno which will generate the money instantly & as a onwer you have to make finacial decision where is best suited.
My bussines is growing & we are getting reconized in other areas in the Ford performance industry mainly with the turbo guys & due to this growth is why the dyno is a win win. I love my 4.0lts as we IMO still have the highest hp E series i6 engine going round...with only the std ECU no piggy back or chip, std factory log manifold & one factory t/b @198rwkw on 98oct, I do down the track want to build another 4.0ltr that will crack 220rwkw still on pump fuel with a log & one t/b.... one day joe |

Cheers ToranaGuy Thats always going to a be a problem with the 4L, Would be intersting to see if the front of the crank could be machined to accept a collar to make the same basic crank compatible with both the SOHC and DOHC engines. Main journal for pre AU cranks would be an issue, even then it's only extra machining, that would double the market for the kit. the initial market will be small, as it a new thing for these engines. But as some get sold and make good power sales will always pick up. Cubes is everything. there are 4.8 turbo nissan patrols around the world that make our falcons look slow. |

Nice write up there tickford_6, food for thought & Joe, I can understand totally.
Get the new dyno in, generate more business & possibly more interest in your products in development, then work on some of those for more business. Cheers ToranaGuy
