S70-T5m Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 wow i can get two sets of r sport rods for that price, but thank you for another option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 VII 7 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I can get almost 14 rods for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyIron Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I can get almost 14 rods for that price! you cannot even compare Carillo to china H beams. I have china h beams and I know I have the Hyundai of connecting rods. Cheap & reliable, but no Ferrari. Carillo is the ferrari -hands down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzimark Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I thought all their Volvo rods were the 143mm variety. The earlier whiteblocks need 139.5mm rods, which I don't see listed in their product catalog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier whiteblocks need 139.5mm rods, which I don't see listed in their product catalog? If they have made custom sets, (which they have), they can probably make more. Overkill for cars on this board, but still cool as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overkill for cars on this board, but still cool as an option. Very true. I'm only saying that because the part number he quoted is for the 143mm rods... and all the rods they list in the catalog are 143mm, thus my confusion, since they definitely aren't compatible with the older blocks unless you upgrade pistons to something with a shorter comp height. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going that far into an engine where you're replacing rods - get the ones that will hold up to just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrboBrk216 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 a quick browse of there online catalog shows that that isnt the price in US Dollars. it seems to be a figure in pounds i believe. could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going that far into an engine where you're replacing rods - get the ones that will hold up to just about anything. Hardly necessary for a street car. I'll stick with my $500 H-beams, thank you very much :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrboBrk216 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 im sorry, i must agree. sometimes you really do pay for a name. case in point. my father has a chebby {puts on flamesuit} with a aluminum headed 496 stroker with a dual stage fogger, with some ~700 dollar compstar(callies) rods, and those rods have held up to every beating they have ever been subjected too. he could have payed for 1500-1600-1700 dollar rods from somewhere like carillo, but when they have held up to some 40 sub 8.99 passes. i think they will do just fine.

Big Will Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Carillo has been recommended to me before in Sweden, but so have a number of others that are cheaper. Verdi Rods for example have an excellent reputation and I believe were the ones chosen by Volvo for their race cars in the 90s and they retail for under 1000. The price of R-sports are very tempting though. But in all seriousness, thank you for pointing out another good quality option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldJ Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Price isnt far off from the Pauter rods. I believe they are right at $1050 for 5. I dont like the quality controll of most the china made products I see. I also like the fact that I can call and get the owners on the phone and if I really felt the need I could even go see how they are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwedeSpotRVA Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 those prices have got me thinking....I could stock up on 2.3 I5 motors (I'd say at least 4, maybe even 5), and just drop one of those in everytime I throw a stock rod. Surely more cost effective than paying for and installing fancy rods. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas850 T-5 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 In another topic on this forum,someone,mentioned that there are two big factories for all the H-rods.The one is in China,and the other is in US,and also only one brand(I don't remember which one)sells the US rods,all the others manufacturers,just put their brand on,and the higher price of course..........
