How much power will stock rods hold?

My engine builder told me 500 hp but my tuner told me 400ish. im running 11lbs of boost at 350hp now.

thanks

 

I dont think your engine builder or tuner know much about the S2000, I woudnt go back. What size turbo and gas? Im on 7 pounds making 318...

garret t3/t04E is the turbo
precision 580cc injectors.... i know i will need bigger injectors. and i will get them depending on the amount of power i'll make.

 

There is someone making 701whp on a stock engine.

 

I take it you didnt notice the first reply....

 

still waiting on a solid response... or does nobody know?
how much hp can i savely run on stock rods?

 

you have a t3/t04E. Im just gonna guess you have a .58AR so you wouldnt be able to push over 450-500 with that turbo. You wont brake your rods.

 

soo, in fact, if i wanted to i could run 400hp on stock rods?

anyone else want to put their opinion in on this?

 

Did you not watch that video? The internals are 100% STOCK. The guy has almost doubled 400 horse. You should start looking at bigger turbos. What is the AR on yours?

 

there have been countless people who have made well over 500 hp without any kind of engine trouble...these motors are very stout...you'd break your tranny or diff before the motor went out or you snap a rod

 

IMO, I think it has been clearly stated that the rods are capable of withstanding 400+ hp.

 

I still dont think they OP has it in his head. The first post was very clear.

 

I had alot of trouble finding a turbo to fit my manifold. the turbo i had before got shot so i was stuck with the manifold. but its alright i don't need 700 horse. all im trying to do is get all i can out of the turbo without damaging anything. i do not have a stock motor mine is built with sleeves and pistons.

 

I am pretty confident in saying that you shouldn't be worrying yourself with your internals with your current setup, my only advise is to keep it filled with oil.

 

no I didnt...

 

Why would you do all that work and use stock rods?

 

Because my engine builder thought they would hold around 500hp, im not looking to make that all im trying for is 400hp... maybe 425 450 if the turbo can push it

 

on s2ki I've yet to see a guy blow a motor with 500whp. diff or tranny maybe, but not a motor tuned by a reputable tuner.

 

440 holding strong here. Plenty other turbo S's down here making the same when the same results...

 

the rings landings are going to lose before the rods or the cylinder walls... rods and crank are pretty stout. but i tell you what let us know when you break your rods

 

Your engine builder sounds like a real big moron. CP or eagle rods wouldnt of been much more and worth it in the long run.
