Default Need to rebuild my crankshaft

I need to rebuild the crank on my boosted b18c, I was looking at eagle crank shafts, they any good? Or should i just rebuild my stock crank?

I was also posibly thinking of going with a stroker? that a bad idea with a boosted b18c? The car is a daily driver running 10psi daily. The head is fully built and the bottom end has JE 9:1 pistons and eagle H beam rods with block guard now.

what do you mean "rebuild your crank" ? what is wrong with your crank, did you spin a bearing ? if so you may need a line bore and oversized bearings

A line bore is what you do to true the mains on the block, not the crank. You would need to have the crank turned and then run oversized bearings. That or replace it.

If something is wrong with the crank you should replace it with an oem crank that's in good condition.

the eagle crank is ok. but the OEM crank is far superior in reliability and quality.

if you wanted to buy a really good quality new crank i would go with a crower/brian crower crank.
