Cross Plane 4AGE
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2018 4:26 pm
Alright C4AG...
I've seen it discussed several times across several forums, but I want your opinions, not "should I or shouldn't I" but what you think it would take to successfully assemble and get a cross plane converted 4A running and what would be the best way to go about it.
Just like the Yamaha R1 firing order, with each conrod 90 degrees out from eachother and what not.
so definitely would need a custom crank, already got a quote, $4500
custom ground cams, seems a bit easier than the crank
aftermarket management, Haltech, AEM, MegaSquirt etc.
then what...adjustable cam gears, COP conversion, hall effect sensor + trigger wheel, cam position sensor, anything else? Constructive input appreciated.
Yes I know, cost per power blah blah blah no significant gains blah blah blah, I get it, I just wanna do it. I can't find anyone else who has put a cross plane I4 in a car, I saw one youtube of a guy spinning a cross plane crank in an I4 block, but no follow up or evidence of completion. If someone has done it and I just haven't found it, please enlighten me.
Thanks fellas!
