Thread: Mazworx got some FWD Love :)

is that a bc crank?

We will be testing a different size crank in the race motor next season

Nope sure is not.

Going to start a group buy on them. Will post a link. Its gonna be a hell of a deal

which rods will go with these mark?

How will a 91 mm stroke affect revability?

mark if you set up a group buy on a complete nut to bolt kit.

even though i dont have a ve motor yet, i would highly consider this.

im looking foward to seeing what comes of this !!

stratton.

Me too.

Simple, quick and dirty calculations gives me an average piston speed of 21.5 m/s for 86mm stroke at 7,500 rpm and 25.8 m/s for 86mm stroke at 9,000 rpm.

91mm stroke at 7,500 rpm gives average piston speed of 22.75 m/s and 27.3 m/s for 9,000 rpm.

If you're worried about piston speed there is your data. Instantaneous piston speeds are about 170% of the average piston speed. Speed of sound is 343 m/s for reference.

Sorry to get off topic on the 91mm crank, but wondering if there are any updates about the 6sp swap?

Also, with the 6sp swap, I tried searching to see if it's been asked before, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if the Spec V axles and B14 axles are the same length, and if they have the same inner tripod? If yes to both, wouldn't you just be able to use the inner section of the Spec V axle that splines in the tranny, then mate the B14 axle at the inner tripod? If that would work, you wouldn't have to swap the hubs. I'm just not sure if it would work or not.
