Hey guys. I'm about to fully build a lsvtec. And I have a choice of using a stock crank or a golden eagle knife edge. I'm putting eagle sleeves, eagle rods, JE piston. Please tell me what y'all think the best choice is.

 

I'm pretty sure everyone is gonna agree and say stick with a OEM ls crank.

 

Why, would the motor rev quicker in throttle responds?

 

So what to do about the eagle crank keep it or get rid of it. I would like to use it.

 

OEM from me

 

the oem crank is factory balanced and is probably stronger.
you an knive edge a oem crank. you dont want to use some aftermarket crank

 

True, go OEM.

 

Like so many people, you made the mistake of asking AFTER you already purchased.

 

So dont use it huh?

 

blahhhh

 

is it an oem knife edged by golden eagle or is it an eagle brand crank? golden eagle doesn't make cranks.

 

confused?? lol
ohhhhhhh i was thinkin eagle thats why nevermind haha

 

I would stick with an OEM crank. I have never seen an OEM B series crank fail ,not saying it has not happened but they can handle 800+HP no problem when balanced. Knife edging is not necessary either, boosted motors like the inertia, also the reason why a stock flywheel is generally a better choice when boosting. It all depends on the driving and goals for the car.

 

Its a GSR golden eagle knife edge crank. I have the part number if I have to post it.

 

oem crank

 

you sure its not eagle?

 

Oh you cant use LS rods on a GSR crank if I am correct.

 

that is correct you cant use itr/gsr on a ls crank

 

that is correct

 

I have a ls bottom end and it 1.8 same deck height as GSR. I have 1.8 eagle rods to.

 

My bad y'all it's eagle not golden eagle. Lol what am I think about.
