I'm planning to forge my engine. I'm completely decided to put Wiseco or Ross piston, but about the rod I do not have a clue. I've found information about crower, oliver and pautter rods, and they seems to be ok for more than 800 whp. I'm planning to get a max of 500 whp, then the rods named aboved are kind of overspecified (wich is not bad) but trough this forums I came across with the Helix Rods.
I did the rule Nº1 (The Search Buttom), and I couldn't find any dynos sheets, feedback or comment about Helix Rods set ups.
Is anyone using this rods?
How much HP they can hold?
Gruppe-S is the only one dealer for them?

Thanks you all

 

get jackson machine shop or ams to build you an engine

 

helix rods same as TOMEI RODS

 

Hell no. What you smoking pass that over.

 

Lol..
Is anyone using Helix Rod???
No body?
Come on guys!!

 

I really doubt that, The helix rod might be the same as a eagle. I know the eagles are made in china.

 

Chris is right atleast the helix resembles the eagle H

 

Well, you could be the guinea pig for Helix rods or you could get something that has a track record.

 

It is a copy of the Eagle H beam which is made in China. I wouldn't be suprised if the same manufacter makes them

 

sorry double post

 

Then the rod is rated for 450 whp...
I do not want to be guinea pig for Helix rods, but I remember in the page of gruppe-s says:

Helix Connecting Rods - 03+ EVO
-ARP L19 Rod Bolts
-4340 H Beam design, shot peened, magnafluxed
-Up to 800HP

is the same as the Eagle...
I jut want to confirm the 800 hp, and this will means they aren`t the same as Eagle...

 

Is it really worth it to save a few $100 dollars? id rather spend a little extra and get a good pruven rod.

 

No, it really do not woth it, but is about doing the right research before to buy...
Thanks anyway...

 

I'm running them in my Gruppe-S stroker, but I'm still breaking in the engine. The rods haven't broken, so they'll hold at least 400 whp for a few pulls. Gruppe-S rates their stroker block with the Helix rods conservatively at 600hp, so they should be good enough for at least that.
