I'm getting close to having all the parts for the 2270 build, but have a few questions:
This will be primarily an autocross engine with some weekend drives. I also drive to events. The engine needs to be able to spin to at least 7500RPM even if it's not making power up there. Here's the rest of the config (all of these parts are in hand):

Here's the rest of the config (all of these parts are in hand):
Thoughts: Keeping weight of reciprocating mass low helps the motor spin-up faster and balanced. Light car, light flywheel. Yes, get a quality forged stroker crankshaft. Suggest getting one without heavy counterweights or full circle that adds weight. Our project 2615 (102 "nickies" & 80mm stroke as 78mm wasn't available) has the larger type 1 journals. Sleeve lifter bores and use type 1 tool steel lifters (53 versus 137 grams compared with type iv lifters). Empi forged I-beam rods are stronger and lighter than H-beams rods (5.5" are 564 grams on our scale). https://empius.com/products/empi-pro-series...5-16-rod-bolts/ Have everything (dynamically) balanced together. Flywheel, Rods, pistons, crankshaft, etc. Crower springs and lightweight retainers. Check your heads as they may have these already. Best wishes for your project. |
