Rods

^ are they made for the F22 ? I asking because it looks kinda longer. Well maybe its just the angel of the picture

[wed3k]

they are about 1.5mm longer

HondaFan81 has the Probe ones you mentioned. And I did notice that moderate horsepower increase note. I think cause they're I beam and pretty lightweight. They've got to be good enough for anything but a really high horsepower build.

I'm really interested to know if the Pauter, Crower and other $700 ones are worth it or if these cheaper rods are good enough. Scat and Eagle make some H beams for the H22 that are $3xx.

Import builders should be respectable because they really do build quality engines with crazy tolerances. I'm having them do my block.

I haven't found much info on personal experiences with a rod breaking or so. And there's very little info on this website cause we're all poor and ghetto.

NA really needs good rods... cheap ones can crack or stretch under the stress of high RPMs. If you're not planning on revving to 9000+, then the really expensive rods probably aren't necessary.

Turbo doesn't put quite as much strain on the rods. The compressive stress of turbo is less harmful than high revs are for NA. The main thing to worry about with turbo is heat.

So for the price are these cat rods "IT"?!

[wed3k]

It?

[deevergote]

When it comes to internals, what is "it" is largely based on your needs. Eagle rods will work for a 10psi turbo setup. Carillo rods would be overkill. Flip that, and Eagle rods would be idiotic in a 35psi turbo setup!


If you need someone to tell you what brand to get, you clearly don't know enough about the engine you plan on building. Learn what rods are good, both brand and type, for your specific needs. THEN you can find the proper ones for your engine.

to tell you the truth deev, there are a lot of info out there about rods and pistons, but not enough experience feedback when it comes to using them....


for the 230-250whp that this guy is looking for, i believe the eagle rods should be fine.

what would you guys suggest for pistons when it comes to this kind of whp????

[wed3k]

230 to 250 aint shit with a turbo.

id stick to some probe pistons...i think ILBB is selling them.
