A way of changing our ECU to read a O2 sensor and auto calibrate for best setting.

<---would be the bomb!!

as efi gets more advanced, it would be cool to add a whole new system on.

How much do you think it would cost Timbo to machine a crank and rod out of titanium? Then, replace all nuts and bolts with Ti pieces. That would kick the power to weight ratio right in the pants! Plus, think of how fast it would rev!!

I like Steve's idea of being able to get the side cover off without engine removal.

I think that may cause some serious balance problems with the motor. If you consider that the 03 crank was like 1/2 oz lighter than the 02, and it caused an out of balance situation that caused excessive vibration that led to varios problems, what would a crank 1/2 the weight do?

I don't remember the exact formula, but crank mass is matched to the weight of the piston assembly and counterbalance to reduce vibration.

So, let's make the piston out of Ti as well!

Yeah, lightening the flywheel or clutch assy may make a difference in how quickly it revs. I think the motor would also slow down faster?:confused:
