I don't know if this is old or whatever, but are their any reviews on this crank?? Haven't seen it around before, but seems like a good company. I think i'd choose this 100 times more/better than Crower. Anybody else?

 

I have some friends that race domestics and they swear by Scat products. I just don't know how much I'd like a B series engine with a 95mm stroke though.

 

get an eagle specialty 95 crank

deckplate please!

 

yeah you should def. run a deckplate, lol.

 

or you could get a 95mm crank from a b20 powered prelude from early 90's.... way cheaper

no its b20a.

 

A20A, B20A1/3/5 and B21A all had 95mm cranks. There were a few differences between a few of them. Ive only seen 2 that ran strong with out breaking, 1 was Eric Conner's (EVOL/Drag Pro) 2.0 LS/VTEC back in the mid to late 90's (one of the first guys to do a LS/VTEC conversion) and the 2nd was Lovell from Pann Auto in Chula Vista which is now called Enginuity. He ran a 2.0 LS motor with side draft carbs back in 98 or so. Both of those ran strong,

Ive heard of a lot of misfortune with those cranks though, Ive heard of more people braking them then Ive heard of people running good with them.

 

they probably broke because of other reasons..they are made from the same material as every b series crank. i doubt a crank will just fall apart unless your boosting like hell and if your not smart enough to realize it's not safe to rev your engine past 7K with that crank because the r/s ratio. then yes something will break. need a deckplate.

They break because they ARE weak. Not only are the weak, they are not a perfect fit into all b-series motors. B20a cranks are GARBAGE, not meant for performance. Scat cranks are famous in the domestic and aircooled vw scenes. I've never seen one of their honda cranks, but there other cranks have looked good. Honestly 95mm w/o a deckplate is no biggie. But 95mm stroke is already pushing piston speeds kinda high. I like the crower 92mm crank.

Edit: Scat makes a b-series 92mm honda crank that's only $725.00
I might have to consider getting me one of these.

Imagine if they started making lightweight stroker cranks for K20/K24. I'd be in love.

Dont ever do that. Eagle Specialty cranks have neen known to crack. I've already heard of three different incidents in cars that dont even make ridiculous hp cus they're NA..

 

eagle cranks are perfectly fine.

 

get a gsr crank not that 95mm bull **** wont be reving past 6500rpm
will have way to much piston sideloading above that

 

The fastest all motor cars in the world are running big strokes. GSR/LS cranks are good for street cars but for a drag car Id go with the bigger stroke

 

Scat sells different cranks on ebay. They sold a 89mm all the way to 95mm. I wonder if it would be safe to rev all the way 9k with the 92mm crank??

but would you want thier "reliability"?...they run big strokes because most of them probably use deck plates to still have a good r/s.

Most of them don't use a deck plate actually.
Cloyse Holland...no
Erick Aguilar...no
Leslie Durst...no
Bisi Ezeroa (I know I fuct that spelling up)...no

That's to the best of my knowledge.

Jarod Silvers 95+mm (when he was all motor)...no deck plate

Any Pro B series motor built with/by R&D Dyno 95+mm...no deck plate

The list goes on and on and on

 

IMO: Scat stuff is much better than any other company offerring stuff sourced from China.

SCAT implements more rigorous quality control and specifies higher quality 4340 steel and finishing process BEFORE it gets to the US and then gets machined at their facility which all they do are cranks and rods.

Custom billet cranks from Scat have been a popular choice for air cooled VW racers for many years and seems to be the standard for drag racing cranks in the VW race circles.

They come from the same few plants out there that Eagle, Manley, Crower Econo's, REV and others come from.

But of course youll say Scat is better, your rods are Scat rods arent they?

Many of the US companies importing this stuff sometimes get "bad" batches. Crower and Scat throw the bad stuff away.

As does everybody else. The first batch of Cranks from Eagle went to scrap.

Quality control is part of any succesful business not just a noticable quality or selling point.
