Thread: Diff DE vs GTIR Crankshaft

what is the difference of DE Crank over GTIR? aside on the bigger bolts on flywheel?

really need your input thanks.

Gtir use bigger bearings

yes i know that. 19mm over 17mm just wondering if i can use the DE crank on the Gtir block then use DE flywheel.

If you wanted to do that, Just use a highport DET (avenir & bluebird) block.

Are you awd or fwd?

fwd you may as well use a VE block..

But what exactly are you building?

Yes, the answer to your question is yes. You can use a DE crank in a GTIR motor w/ GTIR rods and bearings. The DE crank will support the 19mm bearings without modification.

Just use the DE flywheel and flywheel bolts.

thanks for your advice. we got transplant a gtir engine on my b13.. then found some knocking issues..and found 3 and 4 at crank got problem. unfortunately i really can't find any gtir whole block or crank..

So I plan to use a DE(Highport) 53J crank but not sure if they have the same journals or ratation.

I already have ACL rod bearings for pulsar so. I can use it with no problem?

I try to search but i found on the other thread..

just checking it out if anyone had tried it .

any other can add more info?

It was already stated, you can use the GTiR bearings with the DE crank, just verify tolerances via the FSM like you would anyway when building a motor.

thanks for your answer man..

anyway we jsut got a DE crank and try to install the gtir rods but seems it doesn't fit because gtir has 2mm wider should i sleeve the conrod or the side of the crank?

for rebuild:

-DE Crank
-gtir conrod bearing.
-gtir main bearing.
-DE Flywheel


need your advice!

Thanks

I dont get what your saying. I know others have run gtir rods and pistons on de/det motors without issues. Is the rod too wide to fit onto the journal. I know for a fact that 19mm bearings fit onto a de crank because I have personally ran them on a de crank. With still room to play. Very little but there was still lateral movement of the rod in the journal.

I doubt the gtir rods are wider at the big end than my Crower Billet I beams made for the gtir 19mm bearings.
