Hi All,

I read a post on here a while back that listed measured rod weights of different brands and types of rods. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've searched and can't seem to find it now.

Specifically looking for:

- stock rod
- aftermarket I-beam steel
- aftermarket H-beam steel
- aftermarket H-beam 300M
- aluminum stock length
- aluminum 162 mm
- titanium

If memory serves correct, the steel H beam was heavier than stock. 300C and aluminum were close, and TI was about 100 grams lighter than either of those. . .

Thanks!

 

150mm manley rods used in my 2.4 stroker - 623grams

 

Thanks! Anyone else with more info or links to good threads?

 

I have a set of Manley Turbo Tuff I Beam rods here for a 2.3.

Average B/E WT. 474
Average P/E WT. 198

Right off the box.

 

I dont think either of those are total weights.

Because also on my manley rods are

Rotate wt - 451 grams
Recip wt - 172

 

Big End 474 Grams
Pin End 198 Grams

Total per Rod 672 grams for Manley Turbo Tuff I Beam 2.3 rods.

 

I spent a good 5 mins thinking.. wtf is BE/PE

 

LOL! I put one rod on the scale and it said 675 grams. I did not know what it meant either. Then I open the box and a card fell out on the floor that spelled it out.

 

Thanks guys! That sounds about right. Any weights for aluminum rods or titanium rods? Seems I saw a post a while back with AL rods at around 500gm, and some TI rods around 400? Does that ring a bell with anyone?

 

I made on post on rod weights for about 6 different rods.





Manley Turbo Tuff - 680
MAP Howard Rods - 652 (only rod with 3/8 bolts, all others have 7/16)
Crower - 607
Carillo - 574
Oliver is 585
Eagles 590

Post 57 from Ted B amongst others.

There is also some data in my 2.2 thread I believe.

I can add some others-

Steel R&R

R&R 156mm I beam - 602g
R&R 159mm H beam- 568g
R&R 156mm H beam (discontinued for the most part)- 548g

 

Stock = 695 grams

Aluminum:
GRP = 470 grams
Map = 470-480 grams
Groden = 490 grams
R&R = 500 grams

All other material:
Crower titanium = 410 grams
Carrillo = 520 grams
Engine pro = 557 gram
Manley H beam = 573 grams
Eagle = 575 grams
Oliver = 605 grams
Pauter lightweight = 610 grams
Crower = 612 grams
Scat = 640 grams
Map billet rods = 652 grams
Pauter = 685 grams
Manley I beam = 690 grams

 

Does any body know R&R Racing H and I beams power rating per cylinder ? Will you sacrifice 54gr for getting I Beams for an 800whp Evo ?

 

H beams are rated at something like 190 per cylinder nominal, I beams are rated at 300 I believe. I will have to call in the morning on the I beams, the H beams I know are rated correctly. As far as that goes though, the GSC I am running arent as heavy as the R&R H-Beam and I made over 800 on them. Remember tune is everything.

 

Is rod weight usually measured with the rod bolts in, or without bolts?
