D15 Rod Strength

Anyone know what they can handle (roughly)...

I just pulled my pistons out and was surprised at how thin they are..

Mostly depends on tuning. Don't tune it right, there goes your engine. Look at BBKA, he's running 230 WHP on his stock Z6 right now.

Re:D15 Rod Strength

if you took out the pistons, get new rods. if you don't have the $$$ for them then wait til you do. it'll suck to put everything back together and have a rod break later.

Re:D15 Rod Strength

I dont really want to put the money into the D...i just want to have a boosted daily driver

it should be able to handle it right?...the engine was running perfectly before and there seems to be no wear on the bearings.
