Re: what rods to use on turbo
400 is pushing it. i heard 350 whp is about the max possible on stock rods. i made 319 and they held, but my pistons did not.
id run the tuner toys rods. cheapest and solid for 400whp. |
Re: what rods to use on turbo
Josh, dont make me say it. 319whp what?

Re: what rods to use on turbo
hey 319 on a 14psi spike dave.
they did see 319. i imagine i was around 300whp for about 2.5 months on 12 psi. if not for that ssac wastegate id still be rippi her. |
Re: what rods to use on turbo
Ok Im not going to debate it. BUT, that 319 was a dyno spike at the very end. Didnt look anything like a boost spike. Not even close. :P
Personaly, Id feel like a stunna telling people my car made XXX whp, from a one time freak dyno. O0 |

Re: what rods to use on turbo
tuning is key 300 is a fair amount on stock sleeves w/ no real worries
|
Re: what rods to use on turbo
sleeves can handle alot. unless u plan on going over 400whp, i would not worry at all about the stock sleeves. there are dozens of people pushing 500 with stock sleeves, i would not go that far, but it is possible. the main thing will be piston, and rods and do not skimp out on simple things like bearings, rings, etc.
