I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

It isn't the abilities. Its the attitude -- "I don't care what you think, but I want what you know." If gathering R&D information is such a '++++++' then why be hamstrung with information from a bunch of tradition-bound, naysaying sticks in the mud? I say, "Defy convention!" Find out for yourself what shape Ti wants to be when spun around a crankshaft at 6K RPM. Build a single cylinder engine just like Ricardo and run connecting rods to destruction. Then, be sure to test to destruction a few times, just to make sure your final shape truly is a correct match for the purpose and conditions for which it was intended. |
