CX-Racing, APP H beam KA24 rods? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ReEducation · 05-01-2012, 09:04 PM

Has anyone used CX-Racing's or APP's forged H-beam rods? I stumbled upon them searching for rods on ebay. I just got my s14 and I'll be starting my KA-T build soon, looking to make 300-400whp with room for future improvement. They're about $100 cheaper than the Eagle's I was looking at, and I was wondering if anyone has used and had success with them. Don't reply unless you've actually bought their CONNECTING RODS. I haven't found any actual reviews on their RODS. And please don't give me the whole "don't be a cheap ass" talk. Am I on a budget? Yes. Am I a cheap ass who will buy poor quality parts because they're cheaper? Hell to the fuck no. I am a full time college student who also works full time and pays ALL my own bills, so if I can save money on something that's a "knockoff" but of similar quality, then you bet your ass I will. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Curious about these too. We all know it was be as good as eagle...etc. But would they be suitable for 350-450hp?

There's places you can cheap-out on rebuilding any motor, but your rotating assembly isn't one of them. 100 bucks more gets you proven reliability from a long-time, well-established brand. It's 100 bucks that'll save you an entire rebuild. More than worth it.

Well, unless you get em magnifluxed, x-rayed and tested in the field nobody knows anything.

Stock rods have hit 400hp.

Econo ebay rods probably can laugh at 400.

That $100 extra from eagle is your peace of mind insurance.

Flip a coin. Dont be a wimp.
