Because you are shooting for 1000+hp?
I would like to see 550-600whp to start.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!

The China rods are more than strong enough for that at a fraction of the cost of custom made Carrillo's.I would like to see 550-600whp to start.
Then there must be some other mods than just a basic shift kit? And I'd think that after that it's not the best place for a regular enthusiast to spend money.In Russia it is very popular to use automatic aisin on Toyota for drag racing. And already quite a few cars are do 8-9 seconds with these transmissions. The Volvo has a very similar transmission, so I thought that it could be upgraded for use at high power.
You write that you are using the 1.8 mothronic for 300 hp cars. And how does this ECU understand that there is a boost? Or are you together with the standard ECU, use another megasquirt for the second row of injectors?
Was about $275 a rod all said and done.

Better off reading people's threads that actually make power and use their cars with the motor you are wanting to use. People like Lankku.
You can buy a set of B6284T rods from Carrillo?

Wrote "under 300hp" 2.5l with T6 turbos made about 260hp(according to 1/4mile pass) and my current daily has been dynoed for 278hp @ 0.5bar with HX40. Both with bone stock Motronic 1.8, T6 injectors, 0.5-1.0bar higher fuel pressure and E85. I've driven the latter about 16000km/10000miles since last February.
Basic Chinise/MaxSpeeding/SPM/Eagle/etc. rods are what I've been using all the time and my friend also has those in his +1000hp engine. They all look basically the same. Never had any problems considering durability.
I'll put out one example considering the durability of Chinise rods. Had a major breakdown due to ignition problems, broke headgasket and the pressure even cracked outside wall of the block from the intake side. Along with this the engine had a severe hydrolock and two W?ssner piston pins bent. No damage whatsoever on the rods or HD pistons. Everything inspected in a machine shop. I'm still using those rods and pistons(with stock Volvo pins) and have had some track time with 1.7bar boost(K31).
If someone wants to spend more money on rods, go ahead. But I don't think there's nothing more to gain than just a little less rotating weight.
If I correctly understood you, the standard 1.8 motronic can handle the correct work on the boost to 0.5? MAF sensor is also stock? That is, the sensor sensor counts the air flow, and on this basis the standard Motronic 1.8 with turbo can add fuel, through more efficient injectors and higher fuel pressure? Is this enough for the correct operation of the motor at a power of about 280 hp? Do you think this trick will work correctly on the 4.4 motronic? I think my 2.9 engine may require a repair soon, so I'm thinking about replacing it with a 2.8 turbo. .... I will have enough 250-270 hp. But the problem is that I can not use e85, it is not sold in our country. Only 95-98th gasoline. Car for daily trips.
Lankku, do you have any pictures of how you filled the gaps between the cylinders and the block? I guess the principal is pretty simple but I'd be interested to see an example.
That's it?!? What was the thickness of these small metal plates?
In the photo you can see the metal plates that are inserted between the cylinders, about which he spoke.
0.8mm or thinner depending how much the cast has collapsed. A little tight fitment is good, assembly tapping with a hammer.That's it?!? What was the thickness of these small metal plates?

E90/91 325, 330, same age 525, 530D and some other diesel models have bigger GS6-53DZ. Smaller engines have GS6-37DZ which can take at least 700Nm. I have this behind my milder 6-cyl. A search with tranny models shows where you can find one. I've bought all but one from Germany or UK through Ebay, here those are more expensive.
