How much did the width of the rods have to be narrowed? What bore size are you running?

im running .020" oversize. so thats 86.5mm bore the width of the rod standard is 87.5mm.my rods have been linished down to 86mm

just off the topic a bit how much power do you guys using h/i beam rods plan on making?

mate i will make the power first before i talk it up. i want to race consistantly without wprrying about my engine being on the edge i also have a twincam head and want to make use of my heads 7500 rev limit

And does any1 know what the limits/safe limits of the standard rods shot peened & balanced are? good 4 you mate what kinda times r u chasing? and do you have a huge turbo for which the extra reving head will be handy 4 the lag?

who knows what stock gear can handle these days, its too inconsistent to judge. For example Rob vickerys TTV8 had group A rods (basically just factory rods) and obviously made 1078rwhp... but im sure some ppl on a lot more milder combos have bent the rods. The h-beams are conservatively rated to 800hp, the trade off is the they weight nearly 700grams which is heavy for a conrod

yeah its the same turbo.im using the 1.06 rear though i made 250rwkw with a simple set up before.i figure this engine will be quite a big step up in power over my last one. thanks for wishing me luck man and good luck with yours Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

why do u have to machine the rod big end sides to fit through the bore? This part of the rod never enters the bore at all.

hehe yeah, i was offering free info and even posted the number of the guy to do it. no middle man here mate. i speak on all topics not just where i have something to gain

And you point is?? I think you have your wires a bit crossed mate, he's talking about one of my manifolds and i have no idea why he posted it here, had nothing to do with friggen rods. And no need to be a wanker with comments like "i speak on all topics not just where i have something to gain", get over yourself mate, your not god, maybe you should use your search button and have a look at what posts I actually make before such comments. I though this petty crap had ended in your first posts like this, some things never change though I guess. For the record, Hi Octane sells the rods for $1300, and "Spoolin" on here can get H beam drop ins for RB30 for $1200, his number is [phone removed]. 6BOOST

lol

Your such a trouble maker Duz Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

settle gentlemen, be nice. yeh at the moment argos are going for about 1800+tax, same as crower rods! sounds reasonable to me.

I enquired about some Argo's a few weeks back, $1980 + gst. Off the shelf with a choice of 21 or 22mm small ends. Whats ppl's opinions on argo's???

probably the best rods you can buy for the price, the you go to carillo's which are like 3k!
