Guest Enzo Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 not everytying from the far east is rubbish, thats a stigma from ten year ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 True, some are ok, 75% is quite poor though. Autobahn spring to mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 i should have some 4e and 5e rods as samples in around 4 weeks to put through testing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 how are you going to text them mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 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 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 spoken to gaz@a>uning 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.
