Definitely makes good sense.
Still good to have a play around.
For sure.
It's been something I've want to have messed with for a while, I'll get there some day.
Just increase the voltage!Cant be too hard, damper harsh, squeeze more fucking oil thought the hole
I'm actually a dual traded Sparky and Mech Fitter, the best way is faster oil and less smoke IMO.
Lots of places cryogenically treat cranks in Australia, and many highend cars have it done factory.
You usually only get conrods shot peened but that's like standard rods, A lot of the high end performance rods like "I beams" already come with a surface treatment so you generally don't touch them, or might void the warranty. It's something you need to work out between the engine builder and rod manufacturers. You can ask for certain treatments done by the rod manufacturers if they offer them. They'll usually have a recommendation for how much horsepower they're good for.
Is re-using rods and pistons out of an upgraded engine a no-no? I.e. lunatic friend in the US offers me a custom GT30 twin turbo setup and Manley Turbo Tuff rods and pistons for a steal.
Depends on the mileage and if the motor they come from has been flogged hard. You'd want to get them crack tested and check the big end bore for out of roundness and the wrist pin bushes are still good. Also measure up the pistons, sometimes it is cheaper to buy them new. Manley rods are shot peened from new. You also want to check that the pistons are standard sizing and not oversized, and will be a direct fit to your engine.Is re-using rods and pistons out of an upgraded engine a no-no?

Well put it this way. He built the engine, took the car to the drags once, decided he wanted more
. Pistons are the middle of the three sizes on offer so fingers crossed. Engine builder will be Croydon Racing Developments. They have built some truly demented projects, see
I'm guessing you mean they're oversized pistons which means you'll need to get the engine block 'bored to size, which will mean it might not need it in the first place, and you'll have one less rebore out of the engine block.Well put it this way.

I will tell the engine builder that I want a dead flat torque curve from boost to red line, and see if we can increase red line up to 8-8.5k rpm. This will better suit sprints, and hopefully avoid turning the gearbox into confetti.

I on the other hand just want an ordinary looking R35 that thinks it's a Veyron.

Too late once you've bought them from overseas and the guy doesn't want to give you your money back.
I think he bought Russell Island, the low tide waterfront stuff.Where was @Oddjob when I had a bridge for sale?
I don't know if I'd spend the money to get CRD to build the engine and then use second hand parts. Pistons and rods are fairly cheap. The other guy to speak to is JHH.Well put it this way. He built the engine, took the car to the drags once, decided he wanted more
