i have been thinking about putting three holes through the big web between 1 and 2 etc, and 3and 4. laying the crank on its side as in the pics and drill vertically,it would increase the surface area to heat treatment quite a lot, not monsters, maybe 14mm in the middle and 10mm out near the backdrilling,

I have a good idea of where it's going to let go if it ever does. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe. |

These Studies are only for comparison between designs and shouldn't be taken as gospel.

Are the results of these stress analysis for a loaded up crank? IE does it take into consideration the reciprocating mass, two pistons and rods up and two down? On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Varl. I get your point in reducing weight, but drilling those three holes won't do fuck all. It's so close to the centreline of the crank. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

as carl says, it will increase the heat threated are quite much though...So may not be a stupid idea, but as a rotating assembly lightening, it wont mean much. |

The study only looks at the crank and it's rotating mass. I'd need a CRAY computer to start adding the rods and pistons but i'll have a look and see whats involved.

As an all out racer that Carl is, I would do it. It may have no benefit to reciprocating mass, but it is mass off the entire weight of the car.

OT but ..... how the hell did you get it to 470kg Paul??????????? I am assuming there really isn't much metal in there at all..... Its a Minisprint. Steel bodyshell, aluminium doors, bootlid, bonnet. Anything I could refabricate in alloy, I have. Anything that could be trimmed up/ lightened, I have. Tubular front suspension, alloy rear suspension, rear disks, alloy fuel tanks, etc etc. Lots of work. Jimster - 13.42 @ 101mph was my best time with the car weighing 502Kg. It was 470Kg last year at Avon but my back brakes were stuck on and I only managed 13.7. This year theres engine management, new dogbox going on it and some new lightweight ideas to do. If I hadnt cut my finger off just before christmas, it would be about 450Kg in time for Avon this year but I dont think I have time now. Next year.............. Paul

done it lol, just need to clean the bores up over the w/end. a fooking pain in the arse setting the crank up dead level in both planes so the holes pass through the web in a uniform manor. i think iv'e kept the holes out of the stress area, but hey ho,!! lol.
