Im looking into building a strong CVH bottom end...
Before ppl say it, i know i could go zetec turbo for similar if not cheaper money, but i like the CVH.
Anyone used these rods?

Also what pistons are people using for around 280-300bhp?

 

never used those rods..... although heard some bad things about Chinese rods lol
alota people are using wossner pistons....theres nowt wrong with a well built cvh as long as u have decent parts n a good engine builder

 

Use pec or we'll respected companies that can be trusted

 

Farndon rods....

Cheers Paul

 

TBH I've only heard good things about these chinease rods and IIRC PEC are similar, thats what I used in my forged CVH at around around 280bhp.

 

What's the betting a lot of big named brands get made in the same factory ???

 

They will be fine. Most rods these days are produced in china, some of them are priced slightly higher so people assume they're better quality, but they all come from the same place. Farndon & Arrow rods are fantastic quality and made in this country, but their price reflects that.

As an example, Speckys 9 second Tigra used them at around 6-700bhp and never had a rod failure.

 

Thanks guys... I think i'll chance them or "williams" rods...
And standard pistons or low comp?

 

All I got to do is ask pec as im sure they make them in house. He's my brother in law to be.

 

They will be made in the same factory I bet only bonous williams have uk supply

 

Standard pistons do not fit without machining so you may as well go Wossner (or similar) but stay standard CR, there is no need to lower it unless you want to go over 300bhp.

 

What needs machining on the standard pistons?

 

This Rog ^^^

 

So standard pistons/rods dont have floating pins?

 

Nope not fully floating.

 

Straight forward for a machine shop to do though

 

Worth bearing in mind, thanks!
