spiderpigcity Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I know this topic has been talked about a lot, but is there anyone who has actually ran stock rods that were put in new on a rebuild coping with 800bhp. I don't mean a 15 year old engine I mean a new rebuild with stock rods and stock pistons with ARP hardware. I do not want regurgitated information from hearsay on other forums. I am after someone who has actually rebuilt a 2jz gte with new rods and stock pistons and ran 800bhp with no problems as a street car, not a drag car. I know a few have done in the states but I am after some accurate feedback from anyone in the UK at 800fwhp (UK). There seems to be a lot of info on the net but most of it is duplicated hearsay. This is a straight forward question. Please don't answer with "someone you know ran this or that". I am after someone who has done this and either blown it on the dyno recording the figure it collapsed at, or still has it running. More of an accurate assessment tbh, rather than a random hearsay. I know of one tuner who I have spoken to in the Uk who said that they had a customer request to see what the stock block would take on their dyno before failing. The results were just over 700fwhp. But he didn't say whether it was the rods or bolts or a bad tune. Also the engine used was a 13 year old engine. Also has anyone ever tried comparing the force needed to bend or distort a stock rod as opposed to carrillo rod, in a hydraulic press for example. If anyone has recorded this data please let me know.
