Hi I put your rods in my Leon Cupra R this time last year and just wondering what torque and bhp there rated at?
Cheers

*james.l* · 29-12-2011, 15:40

from memory I think they are capable of over 250WHP PER ROD

NottsLCR · 29-12-2011, 16:03

Any idea in bhp or more importantly ft/lb? Thanks

*james.l* · 29-12-2011, 17:06

Whp = wheel horse power

NottsLCR · 29-12-2011, 17:38

Sorry mate I get that just not sure what mine is at the fly

*James.Judd.1* · 29-12-2011, 17:45

250whp per rod x 4 rods = 1000whp ~ 1200bhp at the crank

Cheers guys

To be honest, the rods can pretty much hold whatever you can throw at them. Making sure that the bearing clearances are set correctly during installation and that you have good oil pressure during operation are keys to success. Oh, and torque the rod bolts correctly.

Those calico coated rod bearings with +.0000.....1 clearance should be used for what torque-power levels?

I got mine from you guys along with wisecos, but i am using a GT28RS for now. Only wondering if its overkill for my setup that liiiiiitle bit extra clearance.(will upgrade to GTX2867 i believe once they are out and tested).

And probably look at the tool steel wrist pin option for higher horsepower applications...I'm pulling my motor to button down everything in ARP and rock in the tool steel wrist pins...

We typically only recommend extra clearance bearings for extreme HP applications/drag racing/rally etc. They shouldn't hurt anything if you setup is more tame, but the stock clearance bearings work well.

ok thanx buddy...

I was going to order the stock clearance ones back then but my unitronic dealer suggested i should use the extra clearance ones
