xjjunkie · **srt-4 rods**

just looking at the clevite bearing catalog, and the eagle rod catalog. i see that the big end of the srt-4 (edz engine code) and the 2.2/2.5 have the same specs. meaning the srt-4 rods will fit onto a 2.2/2.5 crank. the wrist pin is a smaller dia. in the srt4 rods (.900 vs .866) so custom pistons will be needed. rod length is the same as the turbo I & II rods. anyone know anything about this ?

Yes, in fact look HERE and follow the links for using T-II/2.5 rods in N/A 2.4L's being converted to turbo...

As far as using a 2.4L turbo rod in a 2.2/2.5, I'm not sure that any benefit would overcome the added cost...

srt4 rod is much stronger then a TII rod.

not looking at the factory srt-4 rod, but the eagle srt-4 replacement.

Yes, and how many people have found their T-II rods to be their weakest link?

The difference isn't in the design/shape of the rod, but the alloy used to cast them.

Are you making more than 375HP?

SRT4 rods are have more structural integrety also, they are cracked rods, not machined like TII cars..

wow, look at the crower rod (on the left) compared to the 2.5 rod (next to it).

Crower is the ultimate connecting rod.

Cracked rods to me means cintered iron.....I wouldn't go near one with a ten foot pole. Please tell me they are not cintered iron and something else that can be cracked. Detonation on something that can be cracked is a scary thought, and cap shift on rods isn't that big of a problem.....
