i have decided that for my build i am going to just stick with a mini me on a turbo, i am fully building the bottom end, eagle rods, race bearings low compression pistons, the works. but what i want to know is if the stock crank will hold up fine? if not what are some of my options? i am shooting for around 400 horse so the head needs alot of work too? any have any ideas for the head other than port polish and a nice set of valves and springs? or does that pretty much take care of the head?

 

I have never heard of anybody breaking one. I think it will hold.

 

nobody breaks crankshafts. stock will work. a good dual valve spring, ti retainers, ss valves would be nice so you can rev to the sky.

 

The crank will hold. The head will flow fine. Tuning is the key, dont forget that.

 

stock honda cranks can hold 400 sleeping. thats not even pushing it.

 

thanks everyone, thats all ineeded to hear

 

on another note, i hear good and bad things about the eagle rods, what are my other choices?

For the power you want, Eagles will work just fine....they've been pushed well into the 600s IIRC

 

thank you everyone! now its time to spend all this money thats been burning a hole in my pocket, i sold another quad of mine and had a grand saved only for building this car, so now i got seven g's just for the car

will a block guard relieve me of my worries or do i need a full re sleeve- never done a resleve, what kind of costs am i looking at?

 

roughly 1000 for resleeve.

 

For the numbers you want to make, the stock sleeves (without a block guard) will do just fine...
