K1 long rods dirt cheap. BNIB

[570msp]

Just trying to get my money back with these. I can't go forged just yet because of financial so I figured instead of keeping them to just let someone else use them.
I'm asking $220 shipped to the lower 48. Other areas I will get a quote for shipping.

They're BNIB so it's a steal

******* deal, wish I had the doe, glws

Are these good rods? Been looking at Pauter Rods...are these comparable?

 

[570msp]

yes very. Billet rods and since they're long rods they put less stress on the engine

 

[CF_KoiFry]

Can these be used stock? Will they change compression? (Looking at Wiseco Pistons, but "can they be used w/ stockers?")

 

[570msp]

from what I understand you need to get the wiseco pistons. I've never looked into running them with stock pistons. if anyone else can confirm that would be great

 

[CF_KoiFry]

Do you have a spec sheet on the pistons for these rods?

 

[Spiced MSP]

you will need to special order a set of Wiseco pistons made for long rods, regular wiseco pistons are too tall for the long rods if that makes sense. I believe the piston will actually come slightly out of the block as it reaches the top of the stroke.

so I'm thinking...not a good choice for a turbo build?

 

[Spiced MSP]

oh, they are definitely a good choice for a build, you will just have to special order the pistons for them which is no big deal. They should be the same price as the regular wiseco pistons. Long rods, like 570msp said,relieve some of the stress from the rotating assembly and the piston. Since the rod is longer, the angle of the rod is smaller as it rotates on the crank, resulting in less wear on the cylinder walls and the piston itself

 

[570msp]

If you go to wiseco's website you should be able to track down the pistons for these rods at stock bore size. I'm currently on my phone doing this right now so if someone could post the website that would be great. I'd just like to get these sold.

 

[570msp]

These are probably the best rods to go with for a build imo

 

[Spiced MSP]

+1, if I hadn't just ordered a p.e.p downpipe, I would be all over these.

edit: here is the pdf page on their catalog: http://www.wiseco.com/Catalogs/SportCompact/GMHyundaiMazda.pdf scroll down a page to see the rods for the fs motor. I believe the "optional rod" listed is the long rod. Don't quote me on it though

 

[JDMazdaFamilia]

Same here I'd be all over this if it weren't for jumping on the popes last group buy.

 

[CF_KoiFry]

Im rather interested if you can get a part # for these. Wiseco makes custom pistons, and I'm betting the piston wiseco has in the catalog for this rod is a 9.0:1cr...and i'm looking more in the 8.8:1 area.

 

[Spiced MSP]

call or email them. Or trying talking to Sam at Crossover Auto

Further on spiceds post it improves high end breathing, allowing us to keep the torque that comes with having a long stroke while improving the impaired breathing that comes with having a long stroke.

The stock rods are good for about 7k-7200. At 7400 the engine basically starts falling apart due to the stresses on the engine. (Piston acceleration at those engine speeds is crazy).

This website has the part number for the http://www.importperformanceparts.net/imports/K1rods-all.html

Been running this rod with wiesco for 3 years untuned. highest spiked at 25 psi and still running strong.
