Whaddup ya'll,
I know their's a plehtora of debate on this subject like most anything in engine building.
I'm curious what people here and abroad have done to increase the strength of the cast VG cranks? If the Nissan racers broke their cast crank pushing like 950whp before Cyro treating was popular, I wonder what the cast crank could handle after being cryogenically treated? Their's so many cryo treaters now that said service is VERY affordable to the working man!
Also, Doesn't Nissan shot-peen all of their rods& cranks whether forged or cast?
I know knife edging has been popular forever to decrease rotational mass but I don't know if I'd wanna do it to my cast crank?
I've decided to sell my Jun rods and Crank and just build an insane VG34ET with the stock crank and Carrillo H-beam rods with carr bolts(brc pistons of course with 8.5-1 for serious boost). Their's guys making incredible streetable HP& Torque with the 3.4L VG with little or no lag so I'll just stick with my original intent of a Single turbo setup.
For now my stock VG33E is almost ready to power my S14! Can't freaking wait for my baby to come and then to open up the S14 on the freway with a Turbo VG with the 9-1 compression ratio.
Any input is appreciated and welcome!
