      I need a titanium shift knob, for a faster throw.


      JK LOL
      LMAO - YO dude, I'm running the Nismo Carbon fiber shift knob, It cost less then the Ti and it weighs less. I reduced my throw by 40% and took .5 seconds off my quater mile time.

      I'd love to c an entire Ti valve train but I have a really hard time imagining Ti valve springs in any engine.
      Ucked Fup!!!

        Not to mention that with the reduced mass of the shiftknob you can now shift from 1-2 2-3 3-4 with lightening speed and laser precision!

              this is not a problem at all for Ti rods, because the big end will have bearings in them and the small ends will have wrist pin bushings, problem solved

                You would need to use bearings with a skirt on them (similar to thrust bearings) as the Ti attracts itself to the counterweights on the crank.

                  DAHHH!!! That means you would need to run a thinner rod too! eeeewwww.

                      Lol. Damn your the richest UTI student I've ever met.

                      Id try getting Ti valve retainers before I tried getting Ti rods....Wow...This thread is awesome for dreaming...To bad it will probably only ever be dreaming.

                        LOL I think I should have added "on the interwebs"

                        I am probably poorer than you

                        if I had money for Ti rods...well I probably wouldn't have a loan for 31k to pay off haha

                          And you might be screwing with a TTZ instead too.

                            The mighty Carillo H-beam rods with the *Carr* bolts are sinfully expensive enough(lighter then even *TT* rods and much stronger). I can't c myself buying/dweling into Custom Titanium rods for a Vg engine or even a RB but maybe some day on a Custom american or german V10/V12.

                            I guess an entire Ti Valve train cept for some Ferrea Super Alloy valves would be an awesome, high reving lightweight/low recepirocating mass valve train! With a VG34ET one could actually make the power @ high revs. So who's gonna produce said kit for a fair price?

                            *WTF homie, my Skyline GT-RR305 revs to 12K with Titanium bitch, I'm not making any power up their but it stil revs to 12K yo*!

                              nah, 80s cars are the shit.

                              I would probably build a VG34 with the best engine hardware availible and a HKS T04Z turbo just to piss you all off :twisted:
