Title: MeXXspeed NBAC Billet crank
Post by: MeXX on May 16, 2014, 21:21:16 pm
Hi

After I broke my crank last year I had to realize that I'm in the need of a stronger solution.
Now 8 month later I'm more then proud to release my new designed NBAC billet crank.

Stepping up to larger 65mm main bearing the overlap between main and rod journal was increased from 7.9mm to 10.4.Which is basically even more than a 84mm stroke crank  ::) ::)
The main journal radius was increased to 3.2mm. The webs between main journal #3 and rod journal #1 & #4 were increased in thickness from 8.83mm to 9.87mm and in width from 78.15mm to 104.83mm resulting in a square area increase of 50%.

Even the thick webs were increase slightly to gain rigidness.
The oil bores for the rods were reduced to reinforce the webs and to gain bearing surface.

So long

Nice design work Mexx!
Love the curves and extra material right where it needs to be!

I went for 4mm radii and 2.75"(about 70mm) mains on mine.
2.2" (about 56mm)rod journals and only 82.5" stroke.

I did mine old school, on non-cnc and it took 90hours!  ::)

Slightly off topic but:

Mexx and dangerous, how did you model counterweights and balancing ? My cousin has a back burner project for his
inline Ford engine for which he'd like to machine a stroker billlet crank.

Hi Mexx

very nice 8), are you making them yourself or having them made to your specs?  with a 60mm main bearing will they fit into a type 1 case or does it need to be something like Pauter? what bearings will it use? what do you use for the thrust?

cheers Richie

Dear Richie

They are made to my spec.
65mm bearings are of the shelf.
The fit T1 with a new line bore slightly smaller than T4.
The of the shelf bearings come with a thrust bearing similar to T1.

will ad a pic soon....

sorry but just got up and it was such a long (great) day yesterdays.

Hi Mexx,
Can you supply a rear thrust bearing in a T4 outer / inner dia?
