[vw1302]

Hi I'm new in Volkswagen's world
and I'm building a 1950 t1 engine whit a new counterweight crank 69 mm stroke!
when i ordered the crank, i wanted a bugpak crank that seemed rely good and whit a nice price!
i Had to Waite over two weeks to get the crank but when i took it out of it box it was an empi crank!!!
i call the seller and he sad that the empi crank was just as good as the bugpak one but if i really wanted
they cud take the empi crank back and send me a bugpak as i order,but the problem is that I'm really inpatients to get the car on the road agen
and are thinking on keeping tha empi crank!because if i want to change i have to Waite two more weeks!Anny one her that have experience whit empi cranks??
are they Anny good??

I would send it back as you wanted a bugpack crank and they shouldent send you another crank unless they asked if you wanted it.

But i heard the empi crank isnt that bad though,for what use are you gonna use the crank,if its just some basic street occasional burnout the empi crank will do.

Well it will be a ordinary street car,whit some red light race from time to time, nothing really wild
expect to get about 125 max hp.from it,i also forgot to write that it is forged from 4140 chromoly
and that the The crank are precision-ground, micro-polished, nitrated and balanced,i have ligthend
the flywheel so awry thing will be balanced one more time to get it in perfect balance,and the reason
I'm thinking on keeping it is that it will take me two more weeks and I'm really inpatients to get it back on the road!
but of course if it is no good then i will get the bugpak crank i ordered

I would say use the crank

I guess these cranks are manufactured at the same plant in china. Check them out yourself and use it.

I'd say support other companies that actually support the industry.  EMPI is a huge black mark on the VW scene.  And I wouldn't trust any internal parts from that outfit, given how crappy their cheap neat-o accessories are.  I say shop out a DMS or DPR crank.
