Thread: Where can i find an 82mm crank for the VE

Reading up on the BTCC engines of days gone and also searching the forums i see that those engines used an 82mm crankshaft. Where can i get one of those!!!

Unless you want the crank for the engine to fit in a certain class/size dont bother. You could also run the sr16 crank with a sleeved block to achieve a certain cc

why exactly do you want to run a 82mm stroke ?

if it is like cory said, how many liters can you run in your class ?

stratton.

SR16VE crank is gunna have to be your best bet. I'm curious, but too tired to find out the stroke of an SR18 crank.

SR18's have 86mm stroke.

Doh, nevermind.

So what's the SR18 bore then???

82.5mm, I thought.

82.5mm

The class limit is 2000cc. Part of why I want to destroke it is so I can run a longer rod. The motor would probably be operating over 7000rpm for the duration of the race and a longer rod would help with piston speed. It would also mean that the N1 camshaft works more effiecntly with the motor.
I am also exploring changing the rocker ratio on the ve head. Has anyone attempted something like that? Maybe we can borrow rockers from a k20 Honda?
