Annialated my bottom end yesterday at snetterton...
Was running well hot for a while, which obviously thinned the oil, and the track is predominally right hand turns... Which I'm guessing had starved the bearing of oil causing it to break!

Now my options are:
1. Fix my existing engine, obviusly depending on damage but as a guess I would have thought this was cheapest!
2. Buy 2nd hand bottom end and put my longman head back on it... Gunna cost just under a grand with fitting I would have thought!
3. No holds barred... I was thinking of going for more power somewhere down the road, maybe a throttle bodies and nos combo! So maybe go for a longman forged high comp bottom end to match my head...

How much power can you put through a standard bottom end, as I'm hoping for around 250?

Any thoughts would be great..?

The low boost charged boys are on standard bottom ends @~250 so standard should do what you want it to! However should you want to go furthur than that... you'll need to uprate things i would of thought! Wink

it was either forged or pocket some standard pistons. Higher compresson, faster rev due to weight. Think jim has gone forged aswell.

Higher rev. limit if you're doing some top end work too = more power.

Worth doing a full job with uprated rods etc if you are going to make lots of n/a power as you will need to run higher revs. The stress on rods rises by a greater proportion than the increase in revs so that while standard bottome ends are well able to support @250 brake with forced induction I am not sure if any of them approach 8000 rpm as a very pokey N/A would likely need to.

Aiming for an 8.75k rev limit on mine, forged pistons and steel rods are a neccesity.

8750 on a standard crank would need a very well balanced bottom end, or a proper steel crank. Any vibration will break the crank pretty quick. Get the crank flywheel and clutch all balanced as one unit, and then make sure all the rods and pistons are identically matched.

My engine made 270bhp@8250rpm though so you may not need those revs if you choose your other mods carefully.

Theres a good chance I'm going to be selling my steel crank+pugsport rods soon if anyones interested, then you can have 10k+ rpm to play with.

8,000rpm is your limit on the standard crank, I have got 240 out of zetec's and peugeot at 7,700 but they did have my own design of cams in them

Hearing lots of differing opinions on the maximum limit for the standard crank, bearing in mindit will be on new bearings with significantly lighter rods and pistons bolted onto it we will see. Who has actually had a crank failiure and at what RPM? I would be interested to know as I have'nt heard of any failiures, plenty of valve and bearing related issues, but nothing directly attributed to crank failiure. Also I placed my order for the cams today, I'll post up the exact specs later as they are one offs but the inlet is 296 degree and something like 12.5mm lift.

The crank pulley, crank, fly-wheel, clutch and clutch cover plate will all be sent away along with the pistons and rods for dynamic balancing as I am very keen for this lump to stay together. Obviously I don't intend sustained periods at that sort of RPM but it would be nice to know it can take it if I miss a shift or loose concentration once in a while.

I've heard of plenty of people revving them to 8500rpm, one was in a rally car with short gearing that meant the car used to sit on the limiter at 8500rpm for some time on long straights. That also had standard rods and pistons actually, and it was an mi16, not gti-6 but must be similar.

That would sound about right as I was told that I should be fine up to 8.75K as long as I'm not using it too often. Your crank does'nt run on standard big end sizes does it?

The crank has 45mm big ends, which is why I'll be selling the rods and crank together, with a brand new set of bearings. The rods also have a 22mm small end I think, as opposed to the standard rods 20mm.

I'll be asking
