2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

[Gregger]

UPDATE: 2.5L BILLET STROKER CRANK, RODS & BALANCER NOW ON ORDER!

Hopefully land in time for Christmas...

Hope you aren't getting that particular crank..... it's got six rod journals.

Building a V6 rocket?

You getting the end drilled and threaded so you can add the suppercharger to her

Yes sir.

Figured this crank will transfer from R&D engine to road bike engine eventually, so this particular one will have an integral fitting on the nose to drive the supercharger.

The gears are also being welded on, to guarantee no slippage on the crank.

Step 4: Design new components

Step 5: Get new components made

Re stage 1 prototyping the 6th gear parts, just ordered this 3D printer beast. Now to dust off that 3D CAD

Can it print in metal?

Ye Haa !

It's a plastic filament printer, I think metal ones are extremely expensive still.

The aim with this is for stage 1 prototyping new parts, just to prove fitment and operation, make adjustments if necessary before getting the actual metal bits made.

Wish I'd done it before, it would have paid for itself by now with iterations of custom parts.

Great Stuff indeed. I feel your income stream must be excellent or you are single.

Hence the question!
