difference in cranks

[aorozco2]

i wanted to know the main difference in these 2 cranks that IPSmotorsports.net have for sale.
first there is the remanufactured forged crank/bearing kit ($521.49) and there is the mitsubishi 2nd gen forgd crankshaft ($700).
new forged link
remanufactured link
the description on the remanufactured one it states that is just as good as a forged unit but without spending as much,
and the new crank states that "dont skimp on a cheap remanufactured crankshaft" so what is basically the difference in the resistance of both.
so when you come down to it how much horsepower can the new one handle compared to the remanufactured one. if any difference at all.

they're the same crankshaft. The new one is a brand new crankshaft. The remanufactured one is a crankshaft that has been used and taken off of a car (probably due to a problem such as a spun bearing) and then remanufactured, rebuilt, resurfaced . . . whatever it needed to be done to make it just like new.

of course, the problem arises: has the reman crank been turned? i guess the only way to know is to measure each journal with a micrometer. but as long as you get bearings to match each journal, you should be ok, right?

I, personally, wouldn't use a remanned crank, but thats just me. I think a remanned crank might be good for someone rebuilding their motor in an N/A who plans on keeping it stock, otherwise i'd go with the new.
