when will you have a set made up and tested??

presume you'll be testing them before selling them.

would like to see a review on them.

very good price and would be interested!

will be a while yet until i will be ordering anything i just want to try and bring down the price of forging as much as possible as atm its sooooo expensive to do.and yes they will be tested until they break to see how far they can be pushed.

[Russleh]

sounds decent mate. as above if they tested and prove good then quality price because i get what ya mean about forging. its like ya pay 700 + for some metal that gets exploded on lol

[Scott-EP]

If there as strong as the Forged Rods you can already buy, then i would buy a Set...

[james@cjperformance]

i am trying to find out who the manufacturer supplys so i can pick a set up to be tested.

[CLARKYTRD]

great idea this and lok forward to seeing them and the results!!

well done!

[ryan lang]

would definitely be interested in these if you can get some dude, im going down the forged route over the winter, and really dont want to pay big bucks for some rods and then have to fork out for pistons too lol

[argylefan1985]

i would be definatly mate

[james@cjperformance]

for those who voted no do you fancy giving some feedback as to why?price?quality?brand?etc

[CLARKYTRD]

Anywhere under £250

Same Spec as Scat Rods Preferably.

Thanks

[james@cjperformance]

just to bump this one up.these rods are made by the same manufactures as pro comp here

these guys build some crazy machines.

i could more than likely do these rods on a group buy for around £210 delivered.let me know what you think?

cheers james

Just make sure they are made in the states as a lot of rods sold there are far east rubbish

Duly noted

[Guest Enzo]

not everytying from the far east is rubbish, thats a stigma from ten year ago.

[Dave@TM-Developments.com]

True, some are ok, 75% is quite poor though. Autobahn spring to mind

[james@cjperformance]

i should have some 4e and 5e rods as samples in around 4 weeks to put through testing.

[ollie ryan]

how are you going to text them mate?

[james@cjperformance]

only one way to test them really....in an engine and see what they are capble of.might send them for independant testing ie sonic tested etc etc will be looking into that in more detail over the next few weeks.

[james@cjperformance]

spoken to gaz@a&gtuning today the 5e rods will more than likely be going to him to be put through there paces and run at around the 2 bar mark and the 4e set are being sent for tensile testing until breaking to see hoe strong they are.
