Engine Rebuild That Needs To Take Some Raping

[Tocchi]

hey guys, got a BA Phoon motor sitting in my shed for the new toy.

ive got some questions regarding the Barras.

it's the first time ive really delved into the DOHCs, ive been modding the SOHCs for way too long.

1) how easy is it to get them to rev to 7,000rpm?

2) are there any short blocks (Nizpro, Atomic) that are safe to get?

im a bit wary after Ramon's grief, and I heard that Atomic used to be noisy?

pretty much I need a 1000kw short motor.

3) if neither of those, whats some good rebuilt kits?

im quiet handy with a spanner and know a few ppl working for performance shops in perth, and the (now ex) owner of the car I bought can line me up with engine dyno'ing at the click of his fingers. so DIY rebuild wont be too much of an issue.

4) what HP does the stock BA Phoon head flow to?

5) stock F6 flywheel - what power can these take? what aftermarket options are there?

6) burnouts?

haha

coin aint an issue, ill just claim some more workers compo, or sue to Zoo for the monkey that threw sh*t at me!

or ill shank some old ppl haha.

but seriously, I need some options thrown my way, even if they are expensive as f*ck

cheers

Buy a set of Good Rods & pistons and get the Block Torque plated and plateau hone. Heads are best left alone from what I've seen. Do it yourself apart from the machining.

If money isn't an issue, have a look at Nizpro's new Titanium rods. About $6k a set iirc but suited to your application

You'll struggle to get it revving to 7000rpm safely without a billet crank as well. Easy way to spend $10k...

XSpower rods? hope not they'd have to be pretty special rods, afterall, im sure there's already rods that can take the power im looking for (800hp) .. just the name escapes me.. maybe it was Howards?

f*ck me dead 10K for a crank? would that require custom rods then?

[straughsberry]

Na, the crank is only about 5k ( ). And you'd need to find yourself a decent block if you want to rev it that hard. They tend to shift a tad.

xradam revs his 800rwhp t out 2 7000, as does summoner who has bout 600 or somethin. they both have atomic 950kw short motors.

cheers Mic makes it easy for me then I just talk to Atomic

and I visited my tuner today (OVABOOST) and Mick said a few brands for rods (such as Manley and Howard).. basically the well known American brands. but he said also said the Howards come in a little plastic carry case. so im pretty tempted to go them now haha

[Guest]

A local guy just had a set made buy carillo, not cheap though.

[straughsberry]

In the 4k plus region I would imagine...

I run the Atomic gear in my engine and its been solid as for the last 15,000kms - street, drag and circuit
