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?

Damn. What is wrong with you guys?!? I'm doing this for Al Lager. See the banner? I've worked for him for almost four years now. No golden showers.
The 356 engines we play with can get past 8000rpms but you can't hold it there. Just to get a downshift and then bring it down. Or to hold on just a little bit longer into a turn. I'm getting the first set for my "engine #9" prototype. And the next set will go to a 356 for immediate testing for further developement. And I see 914club as open information sharing. Screw anyone who wants to think that it would be fun or funny to with hold information pertient to a project in need of help. Nothing in this stage of rod design is a secret. Every thing I've shown is used all over the place in rod design. Even the funny circular locators. I made another piece with all the secret features machined in to it. And I would happily post pictures of it, except you guys would hassle me for another 3 pages before I got one page of usable input. And I tracked down some "radial grain" billet. Hehe. Could be better than forged. We'll see. Alloy is Ti alpha/beta type 23. I can't remember the exact nomeclature for Ti. Its a lot different from steel or aluminum. But if you search for alloy type 23, youll find info on it, for all those interested. Thank god someone like twysted is out there and actually WANTS to see something move forward. Without people like him, 904 gauges NEVER get made. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) |
