fatblokeonbandit Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No, it's an access plug to get to one of the crankcase bolts.. Quote Link to comment

Dezza Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This is good to know as I can replate mine when the weather gets better. They always look minging with dirt/corrosion/paint and this greatly peturbs me Quote Link to comment

Mark28 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Are they the morespeed ones? Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Carillo rods Mark from the states. Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Really can't beat them for a robust engine they never break items around them might thou. Quote Link to comment
Mark28 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes top quality,what sort of power are you making to need them? I'm just planning my build hence the question. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Std rods are critical after 250hp in a Nitrous motor, and pushing the limit around 300hp in a turbo - that's with a non det. prone tune. Busa rods may be a little stronger but Carillo's (or any H beam rod) are sooooo much more resilient, it pays to use them rather than find the limits with lesser items. If it was me - H beam rods anytime over 240-250+ hp! Build a bullet proof bottom end and you can fit ANYTHING to the top end! Quote Link to comment

How come there's a difference in power handling between turbo and nitrous? Quote Link to comment

Nitrous engines are incredibly detonation prone, they build heat extremely quickly and pound the hell out of bearings. Turbos are big softies in comparison! Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Less rod stretch at full revs too. Not that this is real concern until your on limit. Prolonged rpm hurts things the most. Edited January 24, 2019 by jonny1bump Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Mines normally aspirated at 172 but did good job at staying together whilst holding a snapped crank together flat out with shift light on. They so good proper belt and braces. Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Well last rebuild was, who knows what it is this time ive probably messed it up lol. Quote Link to comment

jonny1bump Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There is so much to go wrong with NOS. Have look on you tube or something. You got bottle of gas and extra fuel you squirt in at set quantities contolled by jets and electronics depending on set up and style of system in brief, over and above your normal fuel system. It's instant bang when throttles fully open, depending on jets can be from mild to wild. Quote Link to comment
