Latest 425 Horsepower NA Creation!
Just thought that I would share on my latest adventure down here in South Africa with Glenwood Motors and Dawie and my joint-efforts!
I brought down the forged steel connecting rods (went with Don Pauter's pieces for this build...) and the forged aluminum alloy pistons (from Ross Racing again) and Dawie went dry-sump, solid lifters, BIG injectors, 3.7 litre 24 valve - the whole 9 yards.
Motor is going down to a very lucky gentleman in Australia for his GTV6.
Started it last night - sounds awesome - will be dyno running today!

The headers are beautifull, and I'm sure they're not only looking good but also helping for some release gains.
Regarding the rods, we used Pauter rods here on some crazy high rev 4 cyl engines we built, we're talking about 500-600hp of 2Ltr lancia and VW turbocharged engines , these connecting rods are of top quality and design !

I'm sure they are sturdy but it still feels "wrong".
I'm pretty sure you could get the same streght and stiffnes with a ligther rod utilizing a H or I beam design.

I saw this engine during the build up. It is a beauty! If Dawie and John was not looking so closely I might just have snuck it into my rental car.
John, it was great to meet you and Dawie. Pity my trip was not later, I would have loved to hear that monster being fired up.

I'll back you up , the material is not efficient used. Could be designed lighter and still strong and stiff enough. A H-beam would be the better use of material, lot of material in the outer sides.I'm pretty sure you could get the same strength and stiffness with a lighter rod utilizing a H or I beam design.

Sweet, rumour gossip about "carillo rods are not that fantastic".
How about Arrow rods then, they deliver to some F1 teams as I understand it. Or what about all the other rod manufacturers? They must be really stoked by this outside-of-the-box-thinking by Pauter...
It's basic engineering, do some cross section stiffness calculations and you will see what I mean, twist should be worse too.
Anyway, it will probably be a great engine and nowhere near the rods limit anyway so I'll shut up now.
