I could just imagine the cost for all of that. scared.gif Well maybe i can't, but it would sure be nice to have that all done.

 

Not that it's not a useful thread, but this has been dead for the past 9 months more or less. Somebody from the first post could have a new baby by now, lol.

 

i've just finished the engine rebuild.
its damn expensive for parts and labour, cost $4k+.

includes forged pistons, forged rods, racing crankshaft, replaced the block to 2.0.
bored, honed, etc.

for the oils, workshop recommended to use a mineral multigrade oil instead of synthetic.
I'm now using a motul multigrade 10/40.

performance improvement, increased hp across all rpm, especially low to midrange rpm.

 

why did you need racing crankshaft?

 

cuz he rather spend needless 10k+ in his motor and still run 13s

 

or he just wants to punish it everyday, and still know that it's safe!! well done...

PS, thats the oil that hyundai here in Israel reccomends... motor runs quieter and smoother on it.

 

engine was stripped down.
the workshop recommended to replace the stock crankshaft.

I'll know in about 3-4 weeks what the car can do in a quarter mile.

My main target was a car that is driveable in the street.
and maximum acceleration on power and torque under 4000rpm.

If I wanted a drag car, I would have invested on a bigger turbo and not a t25 base.

 

Your shop's recomendation is wrong. You do NOT need a crankshaft. You'd be lucky if you could put out the kind of power it needs to break.
You just need it balanced.

 

^^+1

if you EVER snap a stock crank

ill buy you a cookie and deliver it to you

 

Guys, There is more to a purpose built racing crank, other than strength. Being balanced is only part of it...
