This is hard to describe for me, hope it makes sense to you guys.

I have some rod ends, (heim joints) that I am using to adjust the length of a rod with. Ideally I wanted to buy threaded tube with nut end as one piece and a sleeve that fitted over that rod around 3mm thick. That gives me adjustable length...

I could not find anwhere that sold this type of set up, especially with rh and lh thread... It is pretty expensive to get a machine shop to make just a few of these... Maybe you guys know of someone..

I also looked for hex or thick rod with the 3/4UNF LH / RH thread already done that I could get turned down which might make it feasible... no luck

As a last resort I have made up some bits out of threaded rod end tube with hex heads tiged onto them... It is probably fine, but would have liked a milled piece.

Eventually I bet I end up breaking the bank to pay a machine shop...

Any advise appreciated...

Dude, I do some metal fab and have mill, lathe and tig welding setup. Am also interested in design strength for suspension and structural components so might be able to pass on useful info, am also happy to machine you up bits for price of materials if you need.

I take it that your rod ends are female? (inner threaded not unexplainably emotional and moody)

If you want i'll send you a pic of a similar thing I'm making for an adjustable FWD front engine mount with my own threads cut into it (don't recommend cutting threads for suspension bits)

Yeah, and a little more info on exactly what you want, measurements etc and what application it's for

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
