I have been researching the conrod issue and I have a few questions for everyone here. I feel that I have beat myself up researching this and I just want all of your opinions since real world experiences are more important to me than the different companies marketing techniques. I have narrowed it down to a few decent choices, knowingly staying away from the Chinese copies such as Manley, Spool which appear to be ok etc.
So I have found the following, in no absolute order. The NITTOs supposedly have a jet near the main that squirts oil to the bottom of the piston, mimicing a block oil squirter. So with cost set aside since the rods are an important part of a longer stroke engine with higher RPM ranges what rods do you recommend? Carrillo rods are well proven in all forms of motorsport, at the end of the day it is how much you want to spend on rods. But then again alot of engines dont have oil squirters and dont have issues.
No doubt a buttload of rb30's running around without oil squirters and dont have det issues either. And im not talking about detonation consistently, my car plain H beams, tuned, bad batch of fuel detonated, rebuilt, coated pistons drilled 1. Im not disputing what you are saying. Just saying there are alot of people with no oil squirters who dont even realise the difference, and there are people who do and dont realise the difference.
Maybe in your NA engine it is more pronounced. Nitto, they have a oiling squirter hole off the rod bearing to oil from under, saves you all the mucking around. Good to hear Does anyone else have exp with spool?
Ive heard some very positive results, but alot of negative also I've them in mine, haven't had a chance to push them yet tho, I picked them due to having the oil squirter in them. Yeah they do, not sure what the hp rating is, but I'm using twin low mounts so won't be pushing them past their limits.
