Unfortunatly my crank got hurt badly when my flywheel got loose, so I need a new crank. But I cant decide if I should go for used oem, or a new eagle or brian crower crank.


It's a 97 civic with a sleeved b18c from benson with, cp 84mm pistons, pauter X rods, LS crank(89mm), arp mains and acl bearings. Turbo I'm running is gtx 3076r gen2 and I'm aiming for a 600-650whp. Car is daily driven and tracked, mainly for circuit racing. Im revving it to 9400rpm.


What would you recommend? I got in contact with realstreet and they told me that the BC crank is 4lbs lighter then oem and Eagle.

Everything will be rebalanced.

I would like a recommendation based on relaiability, power goal, rpm range, and the fact the car is both daily driven and used for heavy duty circuit racing.

 

Stock crank with a balanced crank pulley . I shift at 9500 and I’m 650whp with CSS block 81.5

 

I'd go BC, provided it's within your budget.

 

I'd find OEM, but they are harder to obtain as of late.

 

I suggest staying OE... it is forged and you can use OE bearings without modifying the edges because of the larger filet radius' found on the aftermarket crankshafts.
