rods

I have a set of forged rods, with the 19mm wrist pins, and a set of standard pistons to suit. While i got these at a decent price im left wondering whether i should have waited and got some of the 20mm pinned rods. The pistons are standard units and came attached to the rods. Can anyone...

In 5th and 6th gear I sometimes see a peak boost of 27-28psi around 3500rpm's.. then it slowly drops to like 25psi at 4500rpms... should I be worried? I only notice this sometimes when I want to torque my self up a hill in relatively high speed. :think:

Im having trouble removing the track rod end from the hub, i removed the nut but still not budging from the hub? any suggestions done a search but nothing :( also im changing the top mount bushes, but im a bit confused, am i missing some thing? :confused: Got it from gsf (as i wanted it...

Well I'm thinking about changing my rods for uprated IE ones. Just wandering what is required for the job? Obviously new rods, but what else is needed? Gaskets? Pins? Thanks,

My car had an unfortunate accident a couple of weeks ago :( and now requires 1 new track rod, 2 track rod ends and 1 ARB drop link (although I'll probably just have done with it and do both while I'm there). If it's not going to be too pricey I'll buy new. Otherwise, I'll try to get the...

hello everyone, my friend has an 2007 ibiza cupra, 180BHP, BBU engine code. can some one please tell which rods he has? 19mm or 20mm? we tend to believe it's a 19mm. the question refers to all the 1.8t ibiza's mk4. dosen't have to be a BBU engine code. thanks guys...

been meaning to ask this since they turned up and i doubt it very much but here goes they came with a note in the box basicly saying that on some engines the rod will just hit the bottom of the cylinder wall and you will need to machine a small clearance path for the rod anyone know if i...

Hi all I have done a search but no results! Can anyone tell me what size wristpins are on the AYP block... 19 or 20mm? Also is it true if you change just the Rods then 400hp is possible with OEM pistons?? Many thanks in advance! p.s.... AYP Polo Project thread soon to come!

I will be going bigger turbo at some point and think upgrading the rods and pistons are a definate, all the big turbo blow-ups I've read about are all thrown rods, so the rods seem to be the weak link above 300BHP - what to go for? JE pistons, Pauter rods? I see ECS do sets of rods and...
