It's difficult to give you an exact comparison since I have not personally tested the insane performance crank hub nor have I looked into their backend machining process or design files.

As far the design process and testing of the Max PSI one goes, I can tell you with confidence that with proper installation it has been 100% proven not to fail as far as any of the units that have been installed at our facility.

Doesn't get much better than that

How much is labor if I go with the one piece keyed crank hub fix?

Go ahead and send me a PM!

For those doing a crank hub fix are you replacing your valve cover?

There is no reason to replace the whole valve cover unless there is an internal PCV issue or if there is physical damage to the valve cover itself (i.e. crack or warping).

Replacement of the valve cover gasket itself should be more than sufficient.

Hope this helps!

Getting my crank hub and E85 tune any week now from SSR. Very stoked great communication from the team so far!

Thank you so much for everything brotha! Appreciate you.

Have you guys (SSR PERFORMANCE) changed the design on the crank hub? I see 4 pins instead of 2 now. Anybody care to elaborate on this?

Interesting indeed. I wonder if they saw any issues with the 2 pin design that warrants the needs for a 4 pin redesign.

The design has been changed to 4 pins now, yes. The new design is meant only to further decrease the chance of failure and not by any means was it changed due to any failures.

As it stands there is still a 0% rate of failure, for any install by a certified install facility, of the 2 piece 2 pin crank hub since we took over on the distribution of them, however that does not mean there isn't room for improvement.

Since we have taken over the distribution we have worked along side with the engineering facility that initially manufactured these to make improvements to the design.

The new 2 piece 4 pin design will only help to further guarantee a 100% success rate and therefore offer an even stronger peace of mind for our customers.

Hope this helps answer your questions!

What's the process for a facility to become certified by your company?
Do you have an inspection or a license requirement that the facility must abide by? Once a facility is considered certified is it for the lifetime of the facility or do you have recurring training or requirements that must be met on an annual basis?

By "certified facilities" I am referring to trusted facilities that we work alongside with. These facilities purchase a guaranteed quantity of of crank hubs from us every month and we have categorized them as trustworthy based on our best judgement of their knowledge, experience and capabilities.

If you are a repair facility who is interested in supplying these crank hubs to your customers please email info@SSR-Performance.com and we will get back to you with what is required. Regardless of whether you qualify as a certified facility or not you may still be eligible for wholesale / shop pricing for the purchase of these crank hubs.

Hope this helps!

Great thanks for the feedback. I'll pass along the info

Would the extra drilling or holes into the crank cause the metal to be fatigued more? I’m not versed in anything regarding metallurgy, but just curious. What kind of tests have you done regarding the redesign?

The crank is comprised of case hardened steel, so the simple answer to that question would be no. The new 4 pin design will only increase the overall integrity of the entire system by making the crank gear as solid as possible relative to the crankshaft itself.

Ok got it! I know now what I am going to pick when I end up upgrading my crank! Thank you.

Kinda lost. 0% rate of failure, yet you’re changing the design... Why fix something that isn’t broken, especially if it has 100% success rate already?

Overall improvement. The manufacturer was given the opportunity alongside our expertise to improve on the previous design and did so based on their extensive knowledge of materials science and machining. As mentioned above, based on the physical characteristics of this system, this new 4 pin design will only further guarantee the integrity of the product.

Simply put, if we can make an improvement we make it.

SSR Performance was the opportunity taken to improve any other aspects of the hub in addition to the pins?

Are you still recommending no crank bolt capture with the pinned crank hub? There's some talk about the bolt backing out even with the maxpsi crank hub.

Awaiting my install for the new 4 pin crank hub install. Will be posting/updating my experience with the new redesign.
