Crankshafts:

Materials

RPM offers four distinct types of crankshafts—Cast, 4130/5140 Forged with Nitriding, and the SAE 4340 Forged with Nitriding and Billet Steel which is our top of the line.

4340 Steel:
SAE Certified 4340 forged material is used for superior strength and its proven performance in the aircraft and aerospace industries. For increased strength these cranks are given a second heat treatment after rough finishing and then nitride hardened eliminating any deformation after leaving the factory. These crankshafts are rated for 750+ horse power and designed for all naturally aspirated street strip applications and moderate forced induction and nitrous applications.

4130, 4142, 5140 Steel:
RPM cranks are perfect for the racer who wants a forged unit without the price of a full race crank. These crankshafts are made from SAE Certified 4130, 4142, or 5140 materials and are nitride hardened for superior strength for the most popular street/strip applications. This crank is for the 500-600 HP Street Engine that will turn higher rpms on a constant basis.

Nodular Iron 80-60-06 Cast Steel
RPM cast crankshafts are designed as a better than stock nodular iron OE replacement for domestic applications. Strong castings and a large selection of stroke and rod combinations make these cranks ideal for the street/strip racer. These cranks are Rated for up to 500Hp applications.
We carry this line of cranks in Scat, Eagle, Cat Power, RPM as well as others,

Piston Types:

Hypereutectic

Hypereutectic pistons are used in some original equipment engines. They are favored because of reduced scuffing, improved power, fuel economy and emissions.

Hypereutectic 390 refers to a unique aluminum piston alloy that contains dissolved and free silicon. The material can be T6 heat treated to high strength and stiffness. Non-heat treated 390 hypereutectic alloy aluminum has slightly less strength than conventionally cast F-132 aluminum. With this in mind, we caution the reader about the use of non-T6 heat treated O.E. design hypereutectic pistons for high performance. Silvolite and others do make replacement-type hypereutectic pistons that are worthwhile for stock replacement applications. Original equipment design is almost never suitable for performance applications.

The KB line of hypereutectic pistons we carry are designed around the 390 alloy. The result is a high performance part intended to give the performance engine builder access to the latest in piston technology. Forgings have long been the mainstay of the performance business and did well in the big cubic inch engines of the 60’s. Now, with focus on peak cylinder pressure timing, ring sealing dynamics, cylinder air tumble and swirl, combustion chamber science, and extended RPM ranges, we need to consider some new piston options.

The KB T6 hypereutectics are considerably different than the forgings. The KB pistons have shown improvement in power, fuel economy, cylinder sealing, service life, and cost effectiveness. The reduced thermal expansion rate allows the piston to be run with reduced clearance. A tight piston is less likely to rock, make noise, and burn oil. A rocking piston wears rings and increases blow-bye. The close fit of the KB piston allows the piston rings to truly seal, minimizing blow-by
