vRSAlex's Octavia vRS Estate - New Mods On
h4rdy:
I think I need to get a set of those wheels in my life!
vRSAlex:
These turned up last week. Now I just need to get a day off to get them fitted.
h4rdy:
Are they H-Beam Rods Alex? I am guessing the originals are I-Beam?
Is the KO3 engine much the same as KO4 I thought the head was slightly different along with the pistons?
Those rods are mega and should be able to take quite a bit.
How good is the crank though?
Any idea how much power and torque it can take?
useless:
Great rods, look very beefy. i think they are 500+ hp
Will they fit OEM pistons?
vRSAlex:
The rods are tapered on the big end so they will fit the standard pistons. Rods will be good for 500bhp+ if I ever went that high.
Ive built a few 450+ bhp BWA engines and the cranks are fine. These rods are indeed H beam and also rifle drilled to aid with oil lubrication to the bearings.
Just got to order some 'Sputter' big end bearings, some new rings and a head gasket kit.
