As per renaultsport, stock piston/rod assembly WILL fail with sustained use above 6800rpm.
So its an unrelated subject to what we're discussing, apart from what we were saying about rpm related forces on the rod bolt.
I cant remember exactly what happened on that engine, but wasnt it the...
real life or theory, it doesnt matter.
I have never seen an engine failure through the rod bolt breaking exclusively. This has already been explained, even if you double the compressive forces through forced induction, the highest loading on the rod bolt itself will stay the same, so long as...
yes, but the point were making is that the rod bolts are not stressed by compressive forces, i.e the power stroke.
The highest loading on rod bolts is on the exhuast stroke just before TDC, and this force will be the same even if a stock engine is running 25psi.
The site will be recieving alot of updates, and management will be one of them. However the basis of management and the choices available are so vast that there will be no possible way to put up information for every option and ECU. It'll be a brief on engine management, but each solution will...
Most people just match it to the gaskets, i dont, yet net more.
And i'm working on a CNC program as we speak, its not that easy because of the compound radii and blending, and queer angles.
Thanks guys!
Ozzyo, at the moment, there is zero available inlet manifolds for exchange, i just cant source any anywhere! If your wanting to send me yours, turnaround is less than a week, but if you require exchange then i have peolpe still waiting for a plenham :(. Is a splash screen the...
certainly, in stock trim there are things that limit the capabilities of a road going vehicle. Most 2ltr engines are capable of an easy 250bhp, but you just wont see that.
But there is a reason why the K20 is used 200 times over for racing.
And to put things in perspective, the K20A...
