does anybody know how much they weigh? How about probe H beams or scat H beams for LS... Im sure somebody knows...

 

Zero clue, dude, but can you change the title of this thread to Official Rod Weight Thread, and we'll get it stickied in the Tech section?

I have a set of beam scales I picked up specifically to weigh rods/pistons. So far, I have Carillo shizzle:

Carillo Pro-H beams:

B18C (-s) 505g
B18C (-h) 500g
B16A 441g

(joey forgets the diff between S and H, I think it was part number?? my notes are teh sux)

Carillo A-beams: (ultimate NA bukkake rod)

B18C 411g
B16A 420g
B18A/B 421g
H22A 484g


I can prolly calc Eagle LS rods and stock D16/D15/LS rods... maybe ITR rods, too (they are stamped P72, might be identical to GSR truthfully).

B18C

 

I heard that the ITR rods are forged and the GSR rods are not.

 

ITR rods are not forged.

Tuner toys H-beam LS rods 520-521grams.

 

Funny, because they forge the rest of the D, B, and H series rods.

 

I thought they were cast .Good to know.

 

Honduh doesn't finish machine them to make them all purdy.

 

So is a type R rod any better than a gsr rod or are they the same?

 

Not having talked to an engine builder who would definitely know, and having seen both (both are stamped P72) but not side by side... the best answer I ever got from anyone was that some ppl claim the ITR units are shot peened GSRs, but that guy also stated he didn't know for sure.
