Jonrandom 2 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I need a new crankshaft for my aue but cannot find one anywhere but have seen a 12v one. Have read that they are the same and can be fitted just need to change the trigger wheel to the 24v one.Can anyone comfirm this is correct and it does fit?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 There is a thread somewhere but it changes the compression to something stupidly low. Link to post Share on other sites
Jonrandom 2 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ok cheers so not so good then? How low as im going to turbo the engine so would have to lower compression anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think it's too low for that. I'm running 8.5 but it is lower than that. Link to post Share on other sites
Jonrandom 2 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ok cheers, damm was hoping that was problem sorted. There was one 24v crank I could find cheap but it spun a bearing so needs to be ground. Is that ok on these cranks, would it be ok for high power even with the right bearings to suit the grinding?

No it doesnt! - loads of poor info coming out lately.It IS the same crank - 2.8 24v and 2.8/9 12v are the SAME crank. Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 i think its the R32 crank that lowers the compression, or the other way round Link to post Share on other sites
