hello to all. i'm writing to you from Greece. dcr i want to ask you something. the crankshaft is stainless steel or is oem from evo2?
i want to make my s14 motor turbo but i heard that the oem crankshaft does not good for many horsepower. i want your opinion.

Wow, that sounds new. Ive never heard of a stainless steel crank ! Though Ive never looked.

From my knowledge, the stock one is forged - and should be good for more purposes. I think however DCRs was worn, or unusable anyway (cause I asked for it to shoehorn into my m10 lol).

How much power are you after? If you search this thread there should be some info on his crank.

Dropped over to my workshop today for a quick hello. They have dtarted the plumbing etc. We are waiting on a Cam and Crank sensor setup from the USA.

I am starting to get excited now........somewhat.

You're not the only one getting excited!

I'm getting excited too. For you and your car of course.

Looking great and it all looks very neat.

Hope it all keeps going well for you.

Cheers, Harry

Hey Dave,
Do you think you will be on the road by Christmas? Man, I just thought when writing this that the last time your little beast was mobile under her own steam was easter '05. Where the hell does the time go??????
On the car, are you going to have to modify the front bar to accomodate that big ass cooler?

I hope so, but can offer no promise. I want it done properly rather than quickly.

No other than cutting out the grills. No bigger hole needs cutting though. It will look like this when finsihed, but with the intercooler painted black.

Have you decided what you are doing with the colour yet? That Blue looks nice!

DCR62 · #**225** (**permalink**) 10-27-2007, 04:31 AM

No I'll leave it black.
