thanks
What was the reason?...and having just seen an engine that has chucked a rod through the block was thinking this may be a must have???
i mean restriction where the engine will surge and boost will jump up and down by 7 - 10 psi ! my old cossie did this and had to have boost capped below 5300 rpm to 24 psi as the engine just physically couldnt consume the air the big t4 was producing! it sounded rank tbhthey are a restriction anything over 400bhp IMO.... good porting & polishing, removing restrictors etc, is good for around 40+bhp i have been told.
News to me, I've never run RB26s:nervous::nervous:I think the rips guys have done over 1000bhp on standard rods.
That was a good oneNews to me, I've never run RB26s:nervous::nervous:
This topic has already been done to death.
My engine makes 670hp at the crank and runs factory nissan oem rods, shot peined and arp 300zx tt rod bolts.
I would have no issue retuning on c16 to over 700 with teh same rods.
Rods usually let go when over revved downshifting ....
You just must be special so.I think in my 1920 post's I have only said try searching maybe in 30 or so ?
