Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

I don't know on the injectors, but 18psi seems like it would be a little much for the 450 injectors.
The crank is no biggy. You buy .25 (10 over) bearings on the rod and the main bearings, measure the bearings in the rod ends and the main caps (all torqued down). Then you tell your crankshaft guy to cut the crank down to the specified clearance. That's what process I'm doing right now. ;)

wow..your doing the same setup as i am except differ. rods and pistons...i'm also aiming for 300 as well...

440cc injectors will not do, i'm going to use 550cc...also i'm going hondata and i see that your going EMS...good luck to us both and let us know what your dyno #'s are...

Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

why would you measure it...why not just get it cut then check your clearances...since youd be measuring specs on a crank that isnt cleanly cut

Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

No, your measureing the open space when your bearings are torqued down in their spots. You measure the open space (where the crank would be) and then you know how much the crank needs to be cut according to what clearances your wanting.

I'm aiming for 300hp on my stock motor. My setup will consist mostly of lots of boost and not giving a ----

We've seen those parts work before. ;)

Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

seems it would be easier and just as accurate to just get the crank cut a certain amount and get the bearings to fit that

Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

Well, when it comes to bearings you have two choices. You can order the factory color code stuff or you can go aftermarket. With the color coded factory stuff you can't cut the crank down all that much, because then you colors are messed up. So you'll be stuck with ordering different colors for this crank throw and another color for that one. It would be fucked.
The problem with the whole bearing issue is you can't gring down the bearing or add material to it, so basically here is your bearing, hope your clearances are right.
Or, you can order all of your bearings 10 over, measure them in the rods and in the main caps, then have the crank cut exactly to the specs that you need. That way your tolerance is perfect. I was told by the machine shop that's doing my stuff that this is the best way to achieve the desired clearances. He said a crankshaft guy can cut a crank very accurately to exactly what is ordered. I'm not the smart one here, this is just what my machinist told me. He knows I don't care about timing or money, and I trust that he wasn't lying. He said not everyone does it or NEEDS to do it, but ideally this is how he builds all his motors.

my motor is in an drunning, boost tomorrow hopefully. for 18psi 450s are not gonna do it
im buyin a set of rc 550s for that task

Re:D16z6 MONSTER setup shootin for 300hp
 

well the way i see it...if you tell them to cut the crank to 10 under the factory specs and then order 10 under bearings, youre set
