Whats everyone using for rods on there F I Motors? Are the H beam callies enough?

 

not sure of your power goals or build specs but the H beam callies are great rods. I have the cheaper Eagle H beams and are holding strong.

 

IMO any forged H-Beam rod would perform well in an FI setup.

 

I'm looking at building a 6 oh with 76mm turbo with atleast 10 psi min.I wanna do it right the first time so if you guys don't think the H beam will hold i'll go with the I beam.

 

I beams are weaker than H beams

 

Then why do they cost 200$ more than H beams?

HD Series Connecting Rods

Compstar Heavy Duty connecting rods are built for high horsepower, high RPM, big displacement engines. Numerous design features found only on more expensive custom connecting rods have been incorporated into the Compstar HD Rod.As demanded by their High Value design criteria, Compstar engineers carefully examined every square millimeter of these components, leaving nothing to chance. See for yourself :

* Increased material at 45 degrees to the tower in the commonly weak shoulder area
* Parting line footprint increased by 23% provides greater housing bore stability
* Contoured tower flanges and pin end housing
* Added material strengthening the pin collar
* Available with 7/16 diameter ARP L19 cap screws
* Robust cap featuring twin-rib design

 

lighter maybe?

 

Are you currently building an engine or are you thinking of tearing into yours and swapping rods? I run stock.

 

H beams are stronger but heaver then I beams. As far as pricing, it just depends on the company. Scat I beams are cheaper then their H beams.

I'm running Scat I beams cuz they were the cheapest forged rods I could find and a step over stock rods, and only about $280. For your goals, a stock rod will work fine for only 10 psi in a 6L.
