Rb26 Standard Rods

[boosted_32]

As it says guys I have had my motor rebuilt with forgies but it still has the standard rods they have just been shot peened and crack tested or something would they hand 300kw all day everyday? cheers

gees if you went too all that trouble to rebuild your motor with forged pistions why did you not just add stonger rods it would have cost the same in labour and then you could have forgot about it and it would be good for 370kw or 500hp.

I would hate to guess, so depending on variables, generally speaking it should be fine, but if its a 32gtr replacing old items with new makes sense. I take it you got upgrade turbos to handle 300kw? And seriously think of getting a N1 oil pump at this powerlevel for all day every day.

[rb26s13]

should be fine for 300

Very capable of 300kw all day every day, many people say they are even capable in factory form of 400kw with ARP bolts.

[boosted_32]

yeh they have ARP rod bolts.....I bought the car with the motor rebuilt if I did it I would have put steel rods in it, Also has an N1 oil pump and GT2860R turbos has all other components and support mods to handle 300kw just wanted to make sure the rods will be alright cause my mechanic was a bit sceptial bout it.

[SLIPPERY]

yeah theyll be ok

as said earlier it was a good idea to upgrade the rod bolts tho

Dirtgarage rekons they are stronger than most aftermarket rods, and are fine for 500rwkw, he should know, he made 470awkw, just with rod bolts

thanks for the info guys, also another quick question would the stock AFM's be ok for 300kw? Ive been told a cheap way around it is to you 2 rb25det ones??? Also I know this topic may have been covered aswell with a good pump and reg would the stock GTR injectors handle 300kw? I have a set of 660 nismos but im sure the $750 could be spent elsewhere if they went necassary

Have you tried searching?

This info is well covered (and the AFM options)

Dont really know how to use the search thing to well could you please steer me in the right direction for both questions I had?

[SLIPPERY]

Yes. injectors and AFMS can reach, and i stress CAN, 300rwkw's but theyll be on the upper limit of reliability

[TAS_SINFUL]

i wouldnt push my luck with the injectors and fuel pump when asking for 300..just generally not a smart move.

leave your AFM's as stock RB26DETT ones they will handle that fine (saving of about $600 from Z32's)
