Hybrdthry911's Acura Integra build

[Boxersix]

@hybrdthry911

they use arp 2000 3/8" bolts same size and alloy as the ones used in the eagle rods maybe even the same exact bolt, they used to have their own rod bolts not sure when they switched. they offer an upgrade to the arp 625 alloy for something stronger, tensile strength similar to the l19 but offers higher resistance to corrosion and such. im not too worried about the rod bolts at this point, it was more of the rod itself. i had great results on my last motor with these rods and rod bolts spinning 9300rpm everyday and 9500 at the track. stick with what works.

Yeah, Pauter makes a really good product for the price you pay.

Swinging that bish to 9500?.. Forced fed and some screaming RPM. Nice!

back when eagle used the 5/16 rod bolts they use to come apart all the time but since they switched to the 3/8 bolts i havent heard of many problems. i dont think they originally thought hondas were gonna make any power to need bigger than 5/16 lol.

Ah there’s the bolt specs I didn’t know. Some of the Porsche rods using the smaller GT3 journal cranks have been stepping up to 7/16", which seems awefully excessive until you factor in how much one of these motors costs if they pop on the track. On some of the 930 motors we’ve been undergrinding the crank to GT3 specs to allow use of the Carillo and Pankl rods with the larger bolts and just nitriding them afterwards. Porsche made the cranks so damn strong anyway. Henry @ Supertech with his crazy short stroke 2.8L does this using a 3.0 crank, but he also now offers his own billet crank to this spec as is for use with the Pankl titaniums.

BTW I still don’t believe how much power you guys make on these damn small motors It’s is quite the impressive feat really! What are your goals with this beast?
