version 4 jdm crank and block oil flow ?
is there any way to make the oil flow better with a the version 4 crank and block i.e drilling the crank or maybe some sort of block work as im running 400bhp my block is being strip down for new gasskett and replacing the acl bearings and im never going to run more then 400-420bhp it running 390 at the mo ish or is it a case of buying a version 9 crank and if so how much work will go into machining the block to take this and will my exsiting wossner rods and piston work you thoughs please all the engine builders out there cheers

the thing is, if you enlarge the holes, your oil pump may need to be changed to a bigger capacity.
but would also say, you'd need to also enlarge the block oil feeds.
but as you say, you'll be changing the shells ect.

The weakest point in the scooby lumps is the lack of bearing surface area they have. My suggestion would be to use an increased bearing to crank clearance and run a higher flow oil pump. This tends to work very well on higher output engines.

Get the Newage cross drilled nitrided crank as below, block may need to be modded though
