Stock F22A1 Connecting Rods?

[WeDgE]

Any idea what kind of power they can hold?

I'm going to be rebuilding the engine this summer, forged pistons, aftermarket rings, H23 headswap, etc. and will be turboing it as well. If they can hold upwards of 325whp reliably, I'll stick with them instead of forged ones.

why skimp

if your getting forged pistons your gonna have to resleeve your block and then you might as well get good rods. stock ones as a general rule i heard was 50% more horsepower overstock. so example would be 140hp ratred f22a6 would be max hp you wanna put on them 210whp without worring about damaging bottom end.

umm.. antoine is at 248whp.... gdoutflip was at like 200-220.. r33 is at 195whp... so yeah.. 210whp is a lil off..

arp rod bolts+grinded off forging marks on side of rods+shoot peened and cryo'd=will do what you want them to do

Resleeving the block? Ehhh, don't think so...F22A has iron sleeves, not nikasil like H23 and H22. Even then, Mahle just came out with forged pistons for the H22 that don't require resleeving.

Many thanks!

I have a line on some OEM rods w/ 3k miles on them that have been shot peened. Looks like all that is left to do is ARP bolts and cryo. Booya.

Rods are generally one of the stronger points of Honda engines. Almost always the pistons are the weakest part of the engine.

thats cause your runing to much boost on stock pistons they arent made for boost they can only handle so much before boom

[hondahater]

ok, so back to rods, i would deff. get a set of arp rod bolts if your going stock because thats were all the strees is

^ I have the same engine stand... except mine has my dad's 350 on it...

So arp rod bolts will help prevent from throwing a rod? I just want my turbo f22b to last me 4 months, the I go to college and don't have to worry about it
