I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that would be interested in Scat making some forged rods for the H23 motors. As anyone who has built an H23 has seen, there's only the expensive Crower rods to use in a built motor. There is not really any in-between, no cheaper forged alternative.

So I am waiting for the Scat representatives to get back from a meeting before calling back, and was curious as to what kind of interest there is. Scat is very well known in air-cooled performance VW motors, as well as performance Chevy's and Fords. They make all kinds of internal motor parts, and are very well known for their strong yet cheap I and H-beam forged rods.

Post up if you would consider buying a set!

 

Well I spoke w/ the Scat rep, and they aren't interested in making anything for any motors that aren't very popular......

Oh well, scratch that idea. If only there was a way to use an H22 rod in the H23 bottom end........

 

Damn, is there really nothing but Crower???....Prospeed Performance used to have some lightweight H23 rods, but now their site is down...

Horsepowerfreaks.com sells Pauter rods for H23 for $700....

I've also read of Probe rods being used, so I'm sure there are other options...

you can, all you have to do is have the wrist pin moved up on the piston...and that gives you a better r/s ratio then the h23.

 

There used to be some brand of rods for H23s for like 300 bucks at kteller.com but they are gone now... he might get more in stock...

 

i got probes in my motor and i sell them for around $370-399

 

how reliable are the probe a nd what can they handle?

 

Why bother...

H23 rods in both heavy duty H beam and utrlite I beam...

Probe rods are damn good rods... When i worked for IB we churned out 400-650WHP motors running probe rods and never had a problem.... IB's rods are of the same quality, the main difference is the rod bolts used in the IB rods... SLightly better than Probes bolts

Hell yeah! Nice find!

Does anyone else distribute Probe rods?

 

IB does but not so much anymore since they started selling their own.

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that IB's rods are a little lighter than Probe... The gram weights should be on the site...

 

Thanks for those links, SoCalude!!

 

Those rods have been out for quite a while now, there will eb quite a few other things for the h series motors popping up on that site soon as well...

 

i thought they made eagle h-beam rods for the h23 too

I would be up for a good set of H23 rods in a few months, if they were in the ~$300 ramge/

So how good are these IB rods?

 

i'll stick with my pauters.......

if anyone is looking for beefed up h23 stuff, i have my old turbo motor in my garage, has GE sleeves, crower rods, arp main & head studs, balanced and micropolished crank, bearings w/ about 3k on them, and a set of BROKEN arias pistons.
Which i am looking to get rid of. which i ran w/ my turbo, just needs a set of pistons and is ready to go
