    didn't think you could go bigger than the s52 crank. Are you running the 135mm rods?

    The longest rods I've heard is the MM stroker kit which are like 137mm so this crank will really shorten that piston!

    No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

      135mm rods, which coincidentally is the same length rods that the donor engine had. This means the piston compression height is larger than my MM pistons which use a 138mm rod.

          The limitation on stroke is the clearance to the intermediate oil pump shaft. im getting a custom one made as even with slim rod shoulders of the Molnar rods it needs to neck down too much for my liking with crappy quality material (cast iron?) its made from becoming apparent when you start to cut into it

              for reference this is the manifold sitting on a spare stock 885 head showing the change in port entry size, so port entry is not much bigger despite expected power about double stock b25. Equivalent to ~ D39-40mm

                4th harmonic: 400-425mm
                3rd Harmonic: 800-850mm
                2nd Harmonic: 1600-1700mm

                Torque
                After seeing these results and part throttle goodness I definitely want that 2nd harmonic with my upcoming m20! Do you think a y pipe would act similarly? I have parts for either 3rd harmonic with factory h pipe precat or I can put my y pipe after the giant factory cat for 2nd.

                    Yes, y pipe will be same, similar to h as well . I'd do y they flow better if you're happy to use a single pipe

                      I hear you, unfortunately I may never finish. Recent events have put a rather large obstacle in my way, such that it all seems so far away at this point.

                                Car is totally fixable and I'm still driving as per normal but I'm questioning if it's all worth it
