I just want to know, how mcuh would it cost me to micropolish my crankshaft? any prices? is it expansive as in more than a 300? please help me thank you very much.

 

$150 send it to Laskey Racing for benson to balance and micropolish

 

yup i sent mine to laskey racing also great services

 

Average price is 150. Honestly i love the laskey team, Mikes the best but for something like this i wouldnt send the crank to unless you plan on making alot of power. Reason being youll be waiting for a good couple of months. Now if this is something you want balanced, and polished for racing, or if your going to send a block to them as well then yes send it. If not go down to your local machine shop and they could do it. I did my own before.

 

ahh i see. laskey??? where exactly located it? thanx alot.

Micropolishing is another word for resurfacing except its very very little taken off. Like the most is .0001 or something like that. You want to do this everytime you take off the crank from the mains/rods so you could get a fresh surface to add your bearings too.

good lookin out on that info...

now, to get it knife edge, does it help dramatically??

 

knife edging is not necessary for a street car. micropolishing is done mostly to reduce friction.

yea, cause right now, i have a NA bseries motor that needs to be put together and i believe i should range around the 215hp, trynna get as much info if i should knife edge the crank and if it'll help out on the numbers a bit...

 

i know this isnt the place and its someone elses thread but what exactly does the knife edging do?

removes weight from the counterweights. do a search. there are numerous topics discussing the benefits and drawbacks on it.

 

know ur stuff thats awesome!! and thanx for the webpage helped out alot. now, if im doing 30psi on a honda motor... what kind of rods i should go with? pauter rods wit bearings and stuff or go with crower billet?

 

30psi is irrelevant without knowing the size of the turbo you'll be using. 30psi from a t3/t4 is different from 30psi from a gt40.

for 300-400whp i'd say you'd be safe using eagle rods with the 3/8 bolts. more than that and go with a beefy rod like pauter, carrillo w/carr bolts, manley, cunningham, or crower steel billet.

 

thank you very much. sorry im coming up with so many questions but if i were to use gt40ballbearing.... and push about 24psi-35psi... I can use pauter rods and mahley piston right? because i did read about mahley pistons come pre-coated. if i were to make that kind of power, wat size tires should i use? like BFG's street drag radials... can i use 265s on 15s???? or is it to wide for a honda civic coupe??

 

i hope you realize that is a huge turbo. you better be running full slicks at that point.

head over to the forced induction forum and start reading.
