Ashbash107 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Which is better? Also I know of a few guys who build the forged 4e but is there anyone who builds forged 5e's?How difficult is it to do your self? I'm pretty mechanically minded but not built an engine before?Any info would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashbash107 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sounds good man, I was thinking it would be cheaper to build it yourself but a costly mistake if I don't do something right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzatd04l220 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 you'll be grand building it yourself and if you got in to difficulty there's plenty of people on here to give you advice if you ever get stuck. kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Mate its gotta be 5e.less revs but torque and power in essentially same size engine would be epic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 5e for outright power.Forged either can rev very high despite the squared 4e being better suited theorticallyPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashbash107 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Anyone know roughly the kinda price you can build one of the 5e's for? With forged rods as well? Just roughly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Depends what your gonna use it for?Road/fast road setup then a 5E if you have access to one.Drag again I would use a 5E.Circuit/Time attack would prefer to use 4E. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
