Useful Information Regarding Stroker Engines

By Brian Taylor


There are various ways of increasing the torque and horsepower of a motor. Installing stroker engines is one of these ways. In this context, torque refers to the rotational force generated by the engine. Globally, torque is normally measured in lb-ft. However, the horsepower is usually obtained by multiplying the torque by RPM and afterwards dividing it by 5252. Normally, the strength of engines is determined using torque and horsepower.

It is interesting to note that these engines work through four main stroke processes. These processes are intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust in that order. This process normally works procedurally in that the next process begins once the previous one has been completed and continues in that manner. As the combustion process continues, the piston is forced downwards, hence the energy is created which is converted to rotational force through the crankshaft.

A car starts to move after the completion of the combustion process and conversion of the generated energy into rotational force. This means that for a car to move, it requires the kinetic energy generated from the rotational force from the crankshaft. It is the kinetic energy that allows the car to move.

In case the stroke of an engine needs to be increased, a stroker kit may be installed. The stroker kit is able to increase the stroke by reducing how long the connecting rod is while at the same time making the crankshaft longer. These two simultaneous procedures the kit performs normally make the piston move down a little more and at the same time able to reach the peak just like in a factory engine.

Because it is possible to increase stroke in the engine, it is equally possible to reduce the stroke. For this to happen, one has to reverse the process of increasing the stroke. This means that the connecting rod has to be made longer and at the same time shortening the length of the crankshaft. This is mostly done with the aim of obtaining an engine that is small in size.

Considering the numerous mathematical and engineering functions that are involved in the engine, the field demands a high level of professionalism. It is very difficult for someone without knowledge of engineering terminology and a clear grasp of mathematics to succeed in this field. For instance, it is hard to calculate the horsepower and torque of different products using the existing formulas.

It is important to note that the initial design of these products is experiencing a reduction in efficiency with the increasing need for more power. As of now, companies are in competition to produce products which meet 90% of market demand. The efficiency of an engine can also be determined using parameters like the combustion power, size, and the cost. As far as cost is concerned, products in the market ought to be affordable and with an acceptable size.

In general, the future for these engines seems bright due to the fact that every manufacture is trying to produce the best products possible. These products are going to be more affordable, smaller and with acceptable power consumption in future. Also, the working mechanism of these products is bound to change.
