Is a fabricated crankshaft a viable option for a turbo racing engine ? (4 cylinder / 2 litre / approx 800Nm )
By :fabricated" i had in mind :
Bored plates that act as throw/counterweight and the pins and mains would be pieces of round stock, all press fitted together and welded, by tig, multi passes.
Then stress relieved, finish machined, induction hardened, ground.
I dont know exactly how to go aboute stress calculation on this one, there are many variables. Looking for real world examples and if it has been made already ?
Thank you
