Crank Scraper (review)

[lbreevesii]

I"ll post pix later but I got an IJ scraper for my S50. Looks good, did the required fitting on the tabs where it mounts to the main caps.

I think Ishihara is still the place to go, I've been talking to them via email about a scraper for my m90. When I get one, I'll post pics and install. Holy old thread batman.

So the baffle idea fizzled out?

So any new data on the scraper, the baffle or the combination of? Any new products out there that are better? I have access to my pan right now and I'd like to put something in...

Hey man, K1s are ballin :D

He used "can", as in maybe, not "could", as in probably..just saying.

I was just thinking a noticeable increase, up to a half mpg would probably increase interest for some. Who wouldn't want to help better circulate their engine oil, AND increasing mph for the same price. Ehh?

Did it sound like a joke?

I didnt mean to imply it could not help mpg....but seriously what % of folks that buy this product are concerned about mpg?...

I figgered a dude that rocks K!s is more interested in engine health and performance than mpg....

no offense intended....but mpg.......cmon now.

I'm willing to bet the small increase in engine efficiency will be canceled out with the 5lb or so of weight gained by installing it (in reference to MPG).

He put "CAN help", not "help"
because I think it's more of a maybe kinda could happen in theory but only
on a microscopic level in a certain scenario sort of thing. :)

mpg?.....u r joking right?...

Ishihara-Johnson crank scrapers and other windage control products are a very simple but effective way to improve the performance of your engine!

What are some of the benefits?

· Less rotating mass for the engine to accelerate because of the removed oil
· Less loss of power because of excessive drag caused by the windage cloud
· Helps reduce engine damaging oil-foaming
· Helps avoid oil starvation by keeping the oil in the pan during hard braking and turning as well as during off-road driving
· Helps to cool critical engine parts by quickly returning heated oil to the sump
· Helps to prevent the cylinder walls from being overloaded with oil
· Can help with fuel efficiency

has anyone slapped these on a b27 engine at all???

What is it you'd like to know? He makes them for 2.7's as well. You just have to specify that when ordering (or any other rod/crank/oil pan/oil pump mod for that matter).

[JRKOUPE]

Does anyone know if these really improve mpg at all?
Yes, I care about mpg..there I said it.

[blueapplesoda]

yea...I've got one as well, and it was a uphill battle to get the item from them.

It's too bad there aren't other suppliers out there.

there are alternatives but not at that price point.
