Who said my forged bottom end won't rev to 9k? Maybe I've said, for the motors we have done so far, there is no need to rev to 9k as plenty of power can be made well before then. We run our own stock internal bottom ends to 8500 in track race cars and they are lasting years although I do usually recommend to customers that if they have one of our totally stock internal bottom ends they stick to around 7200-7300rpm just for everyone's piece of mind and we have had a 100% success rate. Its great if people want to discuss things but please get your facts straight before making bold comments.  Rob

Ok Rob
Exactly how many of your forged bottom ends do you have out there ??? I was told that Ludders engine had a std rb30 crank in it,is this true With the money he has spent already and now the cost of sending the car to you with shipping both ways he could have bought 2 OSG kits Last edited by Tommy F; 14th October 2007 at 11:21 PM. |

Tommy F.
I would say about 20-25 forged bottom ends and countless stock internal bottom ends, no failers ever. Yes, Ludders engine has a stock crank, is there a problem with that? I suppose your going to say that a stock crank is no good for higher rpm and 1000+hp? Be carefull, check before you speak  Your making out like Ludders didn't get what he asked for from us and that he's sending it here as some sort of warranty repair or for us to sort it out as it didn't do what he wanted it to do? Once again, wrong. I'm not getting into how much he may have been charged for the work done in the UK, none of mine or your business. There has been no problems with the bottom end or any parts I supplied him, his motor made exactly the power it was intended to make and he now wants to go even faster so has chosen to send his car here for a completely different engine combination, is there a problem with that too? You make out an OSG is some majical bottom end that as soon as you have one, your going to make massive reliable power, did you ever consider that, in an engine, the bottom end has the least to do with the amount of power your going to make and having an OSG bottom end may give you a bit more strength at higher rpm/outputs and thats about it?

None, as a stock one is more than up to the task of coping with the engines we have done.
It is well known that stock 26 cranks will hold 12,000rpm+ and 1400hp and a customer of mine with vast experience in big power 26's has just ordered one of our billet mains RB30s, he will specificly run a stock RB30 crank and intends to rev to 11,000+ and make more than 1400hp, I'm sure he would not do this unless he was confident the crank would cope.

Here some guy has his pride and joy up for everyone else to enjoy, and along come some jealous sour ***** to bag out a company that none of them have had any dealings with! How petty can you get! Give it rest! Back to topic please... |

Nice level of fabrication and preparation from the RIPS crew as usual. Be interesting to see what sort of power it produces and what the boost/power/torque curves look like.

Unfortunately it seems to be the way of things that people struggle to remain positive about anyones achievements, either personally with their motor or their business successes. Keep up the great work Rob, its always a delight to read your posts and see your work. You add more than most on the forum and deliver more than most professionally. Leaves need to be taken from your books my man. |

What a load of Shite i am reading here.
12000 rpm on a stock crank??? Dream on. Please that is utter shite talk. Sorry for the attitude problem from myself in the above comments. But if the standard crank could achieve so much why the fook are we all buying Jun/hks/trust cranks???? Mick
