Edit: any they are noticeably lighter than my lightened AAZ rods

I wouldn't mind finding an aftermarket solution but that still looks like a good step in the right direction. Did you find some amazing deal on them or something? If I punch in the part number I come up with them costing about $450 each......which would be way more than a custom set of Pauter rods.

I was thinking about Pauter rods.. they would definately be cheaper than 450 each! yikes. I would imagine that CP could make a set of forged pistons too. then you could REALLY turn it up.. until you break a crankshaft.

I'm pretty sure I paid $680 cad for all 4.I'll double check,that still half the money that custom rods cost.

I looked into custom rods from alot of differnt manufactures, and what I decided was... next motor, I am sure malone is going custom H-beam rods for his next motor as well. The most expensive rods I could find were a custom set of Ti rods that came in at $900USD a rod :shock: Okay I wasnt that shocked, but you can get Ti rods for about $550 each if you shop around. Every place I checked with were all in the racing business Carrillo, Eagle, Pauter ect... I think I will run forged 4340 H beam rods next time around. I found them for about $295 a rod iirc.

As for breaking a crank on a vw diesel, I think that is a new frontier I have heard of big power turbo gassers using the diesel cranks, and havn't ever heard of a failure, not say its not possible, but that would be some serious power. :twisted:

I went to the dyno again tonight.. with a BIG letdown. With the main fueling turned up the
most I got was 105WHP thats 15 less!!
I turned up the boost to 27 with a VERY small change.
I have some work to do. I ordered a new 1.9L cyl head today so that I can take it to my engine shop..
flow bench it and look into porting it.
I ordered a new connecting rod and piston also today. I called and talked with Pauter about making me some better rods...
and when I get the rod and take the measurements.. ill send that in. I want that 160WHP!!
I feel like the T3 super60 won't handle anymore than 30PSI I have been thinking about a GTseries Garrett
turbocharger like a 28 or a 28RS
With the ball bearing center section.. that has to help
any ideas?

edit.. IT WAS VERY hot today... and I think my intercooler was REALLY getting heatsoaked. like 98deg with 89% humidity

Smokin hot!!! ouch yeah its hard to reproduce numbers with that kinda heat.

As far as GT seires I think a 25R or a hybrid would work well. If you really want to go out on a limb I would try the GT30V dual axis, varible vane, ball bearing turbo. Or a Holset Hx-30, or hy-35, are all good tries for big singles.
