£750 extra if I go for the billet 81mm crank I think its made by Maxspeeding?
£1500 extra if I got for a 79mm Billet crank made by Arrow/RCM

Arn't they the £150 chimichonga turbo sellers?

£1500 for a crank sounds mega expensive though.

Can't you get nitrided for 1/2 that?

Heat treated is better than nitrided

Sump design is narrower stops the oil sloshing about as much, hence less chance of oil starvation

Heat treated crank is not the same as nitrided. All new impreza cranks are now heat treated and not nitride cranks.

The standard dual avcs spec c heads that are on the car now.

Agh ok

I know it's max something, they are supposed to be reputable and create pistons and rods for other brands.

So the big question do I go for the 2.35 or 2.42?

Banny how often do you drive this motor and what clutch did you have to go for? Whats it like to drive?

Do keep up, at the back.

Know anyone who has actually used them yourself? Soon as i see £150 turbos i get ebay special chinese nock off shudders.

But as said nitrided will do the job (as banny shows), a known quantity and cheaper.

not strictly true as the EJ20 STi cranks are still manufactured in "nitrided" form.......
only the EJ257 crank is no longer available nitrided (ceased approx 4-5yrs ago!!) and is supplied these days in "heat treated" form

Thanks Bud

Well the car is long since dead (engine is going strong in a mk1 escort ran by CAMS) I drove it for a year as a daily to work and back 14 miles round trip and was a pleasure to drive and no issues in traffic.

I ran an exedy twin plate clutch and I preferred the pedal feel to the ACT I had in the type r I just sold but then again the twin is almost double the price.

it is but totally different process to "std" heat treatment.................

to better explain
the EJ20 STi cranks are still manufactured in "nitrided" form and have a matt BLACK appearance.......

the EJ257 crank is no longer available in nitrided (ceased approx 4-5yrs ago!!) and is supplied these days in a std "heat treated" form and have a mainly steel finish with heat / rainbow marks

JGlanzaV

Perfect, thanks Alyn.So although both are a "heat treatement" they are actually different.

Are nitrided the ones to have then?

AS Performance

iTrader: (4)

the nitrided cranks are arguably "tougher" but we have found the newer 2.5 H/T's to be very effective also
