265?

Need at least 285

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

who the f**k said too much power? power was the same to within 5kw between our cars, his was all in by like 2000 RPM doe...

people underestimate just how much extra displacement that 0.5l is... it's 20%

For me I'll be simulating my litre motorbike, which just had oodles of power everywhere, but most importantly in the low and mid range where big bore short stroke engines usually suffer

And for that matter it's pretty much the same discussion as 600s versus 1000s - they both fast as each other when they are on song and most people can ride a 600 better than they can ride a 1000. But on the road, in traffic, in higher gears, that low end torque is blissfully awesome!

I'd also rather be able to boost in 4th and 5th at cruising RPMs

But yeah we'll see

An interesting dyno graph it will make

You still need 285

For dick measuring.

Old mate from facey pm'd me about that forged RB26...it's a brand new rebuild with receipts...could be tempted if it saves me a few grand on the RIPS VL. Will see what's wrong with current RB first.

Just put 20w/50 oil in and she'll be right.

Previous owner has had it running with the knocking, you've driven it with the knocking. High chance that the crank can't be salvaged. Sure, it could be... but theres definitely better odds that it won't be!

[Birds]

Guess I'm hoping for the chance it's something in the valve train like a bent valve or something.

Will also give a chance to suss out anything else I need to acquire, like a new head for example.

Yeaaaaaahhhhh nah

[Miguelone]

Would rather replace a crank than a head lol.

[Leroy Peterson]

Would rather replace neither

[Borci88]

I was scared I was replacing my crank after I destroyed my oil pump! Dem feels.
