I used these rods in my FJ20ET circuit race car engine pushing 500HP with no issues so far. I did have them resized for safety and I filed a small u - shaped groove in the top side of the big end to oil the gudgeon pin. Mine too were within 0.5g. They have been over-reved to 10000RPM, spend their life at 5000 to 8000 RPM and after 4 years I pulled the big end caps off and the bearings were perfect. Good value I reckon.

Normally an unboxing video wouldn’t be that interesting or informative... but when it’s you and car parts, it’s definitely worth a look! It’s been a while since I saw someone give a level of detail close to what you do here. You really did the research, and read through other people’s testing and research. You discuss many aspects of the product, always with your lovely personality and humour nearby. I’ll admit, I have the negative bias towards products made in China, but you help to correct that with the age-old phrase “you get what you pay for” and with the quality assurance the company has obtained. There are some very premium / luxurious products made in China and we don’t question them despite insane price markups. You’re doing it the right way; researching the products you will use and getting that balance between cost and quality. I love your videos. Thank you!

MaXpeedingRods was very awesome with customer service for me. I have a VW Mk3 Cabrio with MaXpeedingRods and I was a bit careless and had dirt in the threads while applying torque to the arp bolts, one of the bolts locked up and I had to use a breaker bar with a jackstand handle to completely break the arp bolt off just so I could free the rod and get it out. I sent them a picture of my mistake and was completely honest how I didn't clear dirt out of the threads and they sent me a new rod free of charge... I have no words... but respect.

7:35 at least 7afe rods hold up to 400hp at 8000rpm - at that point they start to bend (tested with arp bolts) so they are strong enough.. just look on d15/d16 rods, they are thin as pencils and still make 280-300hp. yeah HP rantings are useless, it depends more on weight of the piston and revolutions and as said by knock really what engine cam make really depends on ring gap :D and ring gap doesnt depend on mileage

i would say it's more about the peak cylinder pressure than anything else
@5naxalotl4 жыл бұрын
as rpm increases, piston acceleration (and hence rod stress due purely to mechanical motion, peaking at tdc & bdc) increases with the square of rpm. depending on what rpm you are chasing, there will come a point where these (kinematic?) forces completely overwhelm the stress of cylinder pressure in normal, non-detonating operation. admittedly this is less of an issue now that people make horsepower with boost rather than engine speed, but the limitations from rpm never stop being an issue www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=333643

Rods should also be weight checked end to end-little ends should be very close in weight to one another as should the big ends.We used to check end weights on A series (mini engines)with approx 120hp plus(plus lots of revs- 7k regularly)-more measuring/more accuracy=longer life.I'm sure it's going to be even more important with the hp you're intending.(Obvs we were using OEM rods with a bit of meat on that could be ground away to match-Hopefully forged/machined rods should be really close.)

What really should be done to be able to judge if these rods are alright: professionally MEASURE straightness, big end roundness, big end taper, small end diameter and proper balance testing, not just putting them on a scale. But I do agree that probably 90% of aftermarket rods are coming from Chinese factories. The real issue with made in china is, when there is no second quality control, because that is the weakest part of made in china. If you want to be sure, check and measure everything, or buy from a reputable brand where this has been done by them.

You should also measure the big end machining tolerance. Big end machining tolerance across axis should not lesser or higher than 0.001. These rods big end machining tolerance is 0.005. That is big difference for a connecting rod. Well-known brands machining tolerance of the big end section is spot on within +/- 0.001.

Nice preview, sadly they don't make any rods for Mazdaspeed 3/6 :( I would have placed an order just to feel safe, because my Mazdaspeed 6 has a big fat torque curve down low and these engines are bending rods like spaghetti. Imagine having 270Nm torque down low at under 2000rpm on spaghetti rods.

Honestly, you’re better off with a bigger turbo that doesn’t build build boost till the hire RPM range, I know my brother is doing this right now.

SO what what is the user experience in the end? did they survive the usage? increased wear, spun bearings, anything odd?
