MARK Curtis · **400hp rods?**

Who makes a good set of rods for the 2.2 press pin? Ones that can handle at least 400 hp? I want to build it right the first time. Thanks.

forward motion has heavy duty rod that will handle 400+ hp.they are floating pin however,which most people find more desirable anyway. 302-658-2829 is there # ask to speak with mike demoss.hope this helps

just use a TII rod with a ARP rod bolt and get the rod shopeened and it will handle 400hp all day.

I agree on the whole floating pin thing but I've got a set of Chromoly Pauter Rods that I'm sure would handle it without a hickup

For reference, here is what my stock TIII rod did on this dyno run-

I bought a set from Cindy @ FWDPerformance.com
I'll see how they do, don't think i'll be making 400hp maybe 400lb/ft.

Nevermind, i'm selling them... $180 gets you all rods w/ARP rod bolts, larger T2 rod bushings for larger wrist pins. Theyve been cleaned/shotpeened/balanced. Email me shelby_durango@hotmail.com

I might end up keeping my rods... do any of you know what's the max HP and torque shotpeened T2s can take? I've heard they should be good to 400hp, what about torque though, same? Also how do they do at continuous higher-rpms, ill be road racing and ill be spending a lot of my time up top... thanks.

with a good bolt and around 6000rpm they should take 400hp, not whp all day long

You won't be making 400 whp at 6k...

Use ARP wave-loc bolts...

Turbolag87 · 12-01-2003, 03:28 PM

**** ken, i guess its too late for me lol. I used the old style ARP bolt, but oh wells

Danny

theCSXmachine · 12-01-2003, 07:06 PM

i have the older ARP's too... they should be fine at only 350hp right? these t2's better hold or im gunna be pissed.

glhsken · 12-01-2003, 09:53 PM

Yes they should be just fine... There's too much ado about 1 bolt failure that is knon about. The ARP bolts are fine.. I had the chance, I got wave-loc just because I could...
