Bent all my crapped cap rods so time to upgrade. Here are some pics of what I am doing, these are 24v rods that I hav had shot peened and polished and hae H11 bolts, up next they will get cryoed and balanced...
Hey Bean.....Im going to be driving by late tonight....leave them by the back door....I want to look at them in person...Honestly ....I just want to look at them
hey bean.....arent the 12v rods better once they are shot peened and balanced, and new bolts also???? thats just what i was told.....ind inj uses only 12v rods in everything they build
Depends on who you talked to. Some say 12 some say 24, I am betting they are very close to the same. I asked Haisleys ( which in my bok is a bit more dependable then II) and they us 24v's in thier stuff.
Out of curiosity, what should be considered the reasonable safe limit on CR stock rods? Are there variations in the model years that impact the rod design?
well ya if i was to chenge who i dealt with i def. would.....it took to 10 months for machine work to get done.......(delaying project) just got it back a month ago...
I should probably know the answer and I have some thoughts on it, but why have the rods polished? Only thing I can think of is a drag reduction of some sort.
Okay, so reading what's been posted above...stock common rail rods on FUEL alone, should be safe to between 7-800 more or less? I was under the impression that once you hit 800 you were on borrowed time, but I don't know.
This guy lives a few miles from me... 07 CR 5.9. Made only 730rwhp and 1715ft/tq at 2350rpm with a broken HG(found out after it dyno'd the lower then expected numbers) on fuel only. Its got 2 stg N2O . Then 3 weeks later driving around....
All he says is that they "were" forged rods. Time for billet
Was just more water then it could handle, water didnt come on till full 55+ psi of boost and once it was fully on it would put the fire right out. One of the problems is the tuning, full fuel is around 2900rpms and rpms after that the fuel drops off drasticly. The tune allows for 4100rpms so when the water kicks on its ok till the ecm cuts the fuel back then there just isnt enough fuel to keep the fire lit once it kicked on. Once fire was out it was getting water dumped straight to the cylinders, nozzles were in the head getting a direct shot. Did that a few times and had to start it with ether.
