Just to answer the question in regards to the 100mm crank. A good oem crank is just as strong if not better than an eagle crank. Very often the eagle cranks are way off balance and if not corrected will snap under high hp. The stock cranks have been used upwards of 800hp.If you really wanted...
I for one don't think sand blasting the inside of your engine block would be a good idea, but the aircraft stipper works really fast.You could also just get the block hot tanked.
Ya that's the thread I read awhile back when I started to rethink the design of my engine setup. Was just wondering if anyone here had personal experience with this piston height.I think I'm gonna go ahead with them though, because I can maximize my piston/rod ratio while still maintaining a 2.4.
Hey,I just wanted to gather some opinions on my planned engine assembly.Carrillo finally got back to me on a set of rods that I've been trying to get custom made for my 2.4 engine. They are 159mm h beams with carr bolts, expensive but are light weight and super strong. I'm using my OEM...
When you do the body work to fill the previous spoiler holes, take your time or it will show and you'll it'll bug you forever after.Proper prep and paint afterwards.
I'll have to remember to update my chart then to include the 153mm rods.Without having used the english racing kit your talking about, all I can say is that R&R makes some of the lightest/strongest h-beams out there along with Carrillo. K1 cranks are also great.If you went with the 156mm rod...
Awhile back I put together a chart of different stroke setups, may help you decide:http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/4g63-4g64-stroker-tech-efficiency.478244/
(I can't seem to get the new link feature to work on my computer so here it is ^^)There are various options out there for this...
I would keep looking for other options. If you want it for a dd it looks like it will need a lot of work.If you were buying it for a project then it could be alright.
Alright yes you are right. I've seen it done before myself, but it requires more fab work and in the end would be easier and relatively the same cost to simply put in an evo head. They can be found for a good price on evom now.
By swapping in evo pistons I would re tune for the lower compression and increase boost a little to keep up power. That aside you wouldn't have a problem running them.If you want to run 400hp without worrying about how long it will last then just buy some forged rods. Manley, eagle, or scat...
