y not the manley I beam?

i faced the same decision and i went with the manley turbo tuffs ! not only are they proven to work but there proven to work with some of the highest hp evos in the world! all in all it comes down to prerence both rods are of highest quality!

I would go with Manley just because it's a cool sounding name, sounds like your rods might come with chest hair or help you hold an erection longer.

You could call up Carrillo. Give them a sporting chance. Say, "Can you explain to me why your rods are superior to Manley's? Why should I go with your product?". See if they have some amazing answer that impresses you.

Are you certain both are the same price? If so, it's a no brainer.

Manley's H-beam rods are forged in China, and typically sells for around $350 or so per set.

Carrillo's H-beam rod for the EVO is U.S. made and typically sells for around $1000 per set.


If you can choose either for the same price, which would you prefer? The answer should be easy. To be honest with you, I wouldn't even consider a Chinese-made rod, at any price, but that's just me.

i think he's refering to these http://www.maperformance.com/manley-...se-7-bolt.html

Manley's I-beams are USA made, unlike the H-beams. I do not know the mass of these rods, but anything greater than around 600g is heavier than what I'd like.

How about none of the above!

Go with Groden aluminum rods...high HP rods

The manley 300M alloy rods I don't really know but I think Buschur and aMS starts using them for some builds. Over 600 grams I think per rod.

The most commonly used I-beam turb tuff which are monsters of rods are selling around 600 dollars but they are over 100 gr heavier than the carrillos.

The carrillos which I chose for my motor are around 570 gr in weight and I opted to get the carr rods bolts. Quite expensive of coursE but always you get what you pay for!

I'm a little uneasy about using alum rods for street use (although i realize allot of people do). I'm leaning towards Carrillo's, the Manley Pro Series 300m's are "I" beams and made in USA so i know there a good rod as well.

I was reading a few other threads on rods, but they're a bit dated so i thought i would ask a more specific question. Anyway thanks for the help

What WHP is your goal with this engine? I ask because Manley 300M can be an overkill, and probably you can go with the lighter Carrillo Pro-H {thumbup}

go with the manley.
