http://turbotechracing.com/productca...idproduct=5300

 

now all we need is a crank, and piston heads(with bigger the stock bore size)

 

what are piston heads?

 

they are wisecos came out with the heads

 

wow those things are sweeeet!

 

would these work on an LSJ? i can't remember if the changed the stroke or not?

 

See other post. They make LSJ and LNF specific.

 

Check out the LSJ forum, we have those also, they ARE a different length...

 

nvm, looked on the site, you have them for the LSJ too. thanks for letting me know though.

Still don't know what piston heads are.

 

BUt over 1k

 

We will be adding these soon also!

 

i guess this falls into the "you get what you pay for" category.

 

thats a lot of damn money. lol

 

Why is it that 4 lnf connecting rods cost 1200 meanwhile 8 lsx connecting rods cost 1864????

Why are the LNF ones 300 per rod meanwhile LSX ones are 233 per rod?

Turbo Tech, any ideas about this?

 

Not sure, I am sure it is smaller run sizes... LS1 is a much more "built" engine... The LS1 you showed are a tapered blade, the Ecotec ones we have are the straignt blade.... (manufacturing process different?)

We can get those LS1 rods for $1549.99 for all 8 from Corrillo.... Not $1864 like the site you showed... So you know our LSJ/LNF rods are the right price if we can get you that good of a deal on the Corrillo ones!

You are getting a great price from us.....

 

supply and demand senor.

the price will probably go down after a while.

 

If these start selling and Carrillo drops there price to us, we will drop our price to our customers... I highly doubt it will happen though, as there are only a hand full of LNF's out there compared to the LS1...

 

how much stronger are these over the stock lnf rods and what kinda power would these handle?

 

holy price gouge batman

 

Call up Carrillo, dont call us out...

I doubt you would break them with 1,000 HP (properly tuned)

 

I hate it when the uninformed voice opinions like this.

Yeah they are expensive, but hell, we should be happy that a company even bothers making such parts for us.

This is simple mfg economics. They (the mfg, not TTR the seller) have to recover R&D and tooling costs on every component they manufacture. This cost therefore has to be distributed among the number of components that they will sell. Unfortunately for the LSJ & LNF motors, there simply will not be that many parts sold. So a larger portion of that development cost ends up being added to each part.

Where as the LS1, not only exists in much larger numbers, but more LS1 owners will be building their motors than LSJ/LNF motors. So each end consumer ends up paying for a smaller portion of said development costs.

Get it?

This is the same reason that most Honda motor components are more affordable.

 

i will be more interested when i see more lnfs sling rods out of them. until then i will treat mine like they are indestructible. lol

 

I don't imagine anyone will be able to break rods (properly tuned) on the stock snail. These will come into play for people looking to make huge numbers with a bigger turbo.

 

That is a great price for that brand!! Carrillo are some of the best in the world.

 

wait isnt our car capable of holding over 550whp? on stock internals?
