I am alarmed to see this response from you. To state on a public forum you have no direct affiliation to me or that what I have posted is an opinion is a bit disappointing. (Click me). I posted what I posted to :
A. protect people from going down this road.
B. protect YOU from having to deal with the fall out when it happens.
FACTS:
- 2 former employees @ eurospec themselves have told me directly those crankshafts are poor quality bending as much as 0.006" out of spec.
- INA has returned 2 of the bent units to 034 directly for store credit then was handed to overland/eurospec for anything further to do with billet crankshafts (we still have yet to resolve Armin's 92.8mm billet crank issue btw...approaching almost 2 years
) . We have had 100% failure with these crankshafts. The only person I know of that has had success with a 100mm 4 Cylinder unit is Romero and his motor is naturally aspirated w/ 11.5:1 CR. - In the 034 time attack A4 the 100mm Eurospec Billet unit failed and was subsequently replaced with an OEM Volkswagen 92.8mm fsi forged crankshaft. The failure was inline with the B6 A4 we built that 034 knew about.
- The crankshaft in question (92.8mm stroke billet Inline-5 crankshaft) has been available for over 2 years long before it went up on 034's website. You know this because it was stated to you.
- I have nothing to gain by stating what I stated other that looking out for community members and posting what I posted based on experience.
If you are a newbie to this thread. You can still source a 95.5mm stroke crank from a 2.5 TDI and use a piston / rod combination to suite. Still the most successful stroker combination for the old school inline-5 motor to date (unless you are the few lucky 92.8mm stroke owners)
) when the 92.8mm crank came up on Ebay, he said that if he did ever sell it he'd let me know first. I was going to use it when I rebuild my old 3B engine.


yea !!!!! the best combo i think, the best bore and stroke... and even longer conrods too ( 163-165)
