Hi guys,
Nice to be asking a question this time round!
We wanted to know if anyone has any information on what the 5e cranks can handle, I've seen a few 5e's on you tube running 350+ WHP at over 8K RPM but I'm unsure if there using the stock crank, I would imagine so. This also brings into question if it's worth lightening the OEM crank, as obviously less material may cause unwanted stress if it's near it's structural limits in stock guise. What have previous 5e converters discovered?
There are relatively little examples I can find on the net so we wondered if anyone had any hands on experience. GT4's can suffer crank issues after and around 400hp so we wondered what the 5e limits were. There's also a possibility of having 5e cranks made with the 4efte pattern meaning you can still use the 4efte clutch and flywheel for the 5e conversion if it's possible, more on this soon.
If anyone has any info then don't hesitate to post.
Best Regards,
Toby
