What company makes rods of titan for the B18C5?

thanks

 

.....you mean titanium rods? (Ti)??

Why do you want this material for rods? Yes it is strong, but brittle.....

 

yeah, titanium.

We need such rods for a race only setup.

 

Try these guys:

They are in the UK - so they will probably be really expen$ive.

You may want Ti rods for your setup, but it's extremely unlikely that you need them.

 

Eagle makes titanium rods. I don't know if Crower still does. Eagle titanium rods go for like $1000 retail.

 

I'm sure Poggipolini COULD make them for you.

 

Here is the Eagle Rod website:

They make Ti rods for Honda's - $1200 not $1000 per set

"Part number CRS T5394A3D is for the Honda and Acura B18A/B, B20B/Z engines as well as our stroker kits using the stock length B18A rod. it weighs a mere 330 grams vs. 525 for our standard rod. List price is $1200 per set."


Yikes!

 

But Ti parts flex, that has to be watched. My bicycle has a 100% Ti frame and it can flex big time.

I know there are different mixtures of Ti- just beware.

 

Crower, Eagle, Pauter, Cunningham all make titanium rods. Omnipower is also coming out with a line of titanium rods soon.

There's more technical info in their catalog if you wanna DL the .pdf file.

Here's a pic of the Ti rod Poggipolini makes for NCR (and Ducati Corse):



And here's the Ti wheel hub they make for the Enzo:

Wouldn't you want rods with a little more mass for an FI setup?

wouldn't density be the correct term? i'm not sure, but i'm just playing devil's advocate.

I'm not sure either, I'm just curious which was why I asked.

You want the least mass/ density possible, but the most strength. Ti has strength similar to steel, but weights about half as much.
