Not sure if I mentioned it but I brought a Spool billet crank for the car standard stroke. Also recently swapped the 14.3mm Headstuds for some very expensive CA625+ Studs. Also brought a complete aftermarket oil pump assembly. Clutch is in the works at the moment from Jim Berry (Big single plate) His single plates have seen 1200whp on barra before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then finally off to the tuner to have a Link G4 Wired in. Yes the haltech plugin is available but my tuner has little experience with one and is a link dealer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only other things are like the driveshaft which shouldn't be a major. Will probably just send it with the stock axles, Those driveshaft shop ones aren't cheap lol.

Between a built tailshaft and axles it's nearly 5 grand. Keep on it bro, it'll be good to see the end result...and a hectic skid of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,309 Member For: 16y 17d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/02/19 05:51 AM Share Posted 18/02/19 05:51 AM really? first you've heard of it? *sigh*... yeah, you have to have a really strong engine to be able to spin it up... it can be done, but it's not safe on the stock setup, at all... but the built ones (the right ways for higher revs operations) then it can hold on longer but it's also not great for high revs... that's why we have the de-stroked engines which are MUCH safer at higher revs as these engines are "square" (the bore-stroke ratio is about 1:1) and this means the engine is in it's happy operation zone the whole time... but you lose some low down torque and get the ability to rev it harder. If you're going for higher revs, then a de-stroked engine is definitely the way for a Barra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
