is everyone using stock size rods or longer ones? how do you go about choosing what size rod to go with? i heard longer rod will help top end, but how do you know what size to go with without running into problems? looking for some for a h22 turbo.

 

Rods are a specific length and width for each engine. The only way to use a longer rod is to add a deckplate or use a crank with a shorter stroke, or modify the piston.
I think what you are looking for are just aftermarket H22 rods. Check Crower, Eagle, Pauter,Cunningham, etc. to see who makes a rod that fits your budget and your engine.

 

what are you trying to accomplish with a custom rod?? going all motor, boost??

 

use a longer rod to achieve a better rod ratio especially in those h22a

 

yeah, ok we used a shelf piston and stock rod and made 689whp at only 26psi. if you hurt a rod do you really want to wait months to get your car back up and running?? run shelf parts and make the power with more boost!!

 

or buy 6 of everything so you have spares if or when you hurt it so you wont have the down time.

 

stick with the factory spec'd rod. Hey if its good enough for kenny and tony than I think itll do good in your setup.
