Revolution Mini Works Jul 30, 2009 08:48 AM

Looks like forged cranks that need a bit of machining and grinding before installation. Are these for the stroker motors?

Two unmachined crank shafts and one missing one. I claim victory. What's my prize? :lol:

Your killing me...MORE INFO?!!!!:impatient:

Revolution Mini Works Jul 31, 2009 07:20 AM

these billett cranks will be able to be made from 1.6L all the way to 2.0L
I have heard the oil holes have put in now and the cranks are in the heat treating process again. Final finishing will be next week barring some unknown hold up

jhiggs26 Jul 31, 2009 10:57 AM

Hmmm Billet Cranks.
 
Looking good Jan/RMW. :thumbsup:

My Dad and I got back our crankshaft from machine shop in the late winter(Classic Mini). Hopefully by next summer it'll be spinning in our Turbo 1293cc. New A+ crank with 2" mains, 1.75" big ends, heat treated, modestly lightened/balanced, and oil ways worked over. With the 4 bolt center main cap it'll be good up to 7500rpm! :grin:

So Lets ask this.
Whats the added benifit of buying one of these cranks for a 1.6
Over the stock one that is also forged?
whats this suppose to cost 1500-2000?

I'll have final pricing next week:thumbsup:
should be stronger than the factory one

we can have them knife edged for racing , but the big advantage is the custom strokes that we can provide:nod:

MadMick Aug 1, 2009 04:17 AM

How much gain do you expect from 1,8 liter?

Where you will see the bigger gains is when you shove more air through it compared to a 1.6L. The m45 is small but if you put a Rotrex or TVS on it watch out. For example the 2.0L with ONLY 13psi of boost and a turbo made 365whp and 308tq . NO 1.6L will get close to that hp/tq with such little boost

Paul Webster Aug 1, 2009 05:40 PM

Then it SHAT itself

silversmoke06 Aug 1, 2009 07:05 PM

Paul your so perky How do you do it?
And how do you figure it shat its self.
Besides. The only way to find out how strong a motor is, Well blowing it up
You've blown up motors right?
