nice!!, wat bore size did u get?

 

stock is 73 mm i got 74 so it should make the motor about a 1.6 now

 

close....

1.54 liters

 

wow! dats awesome! how much WHP can u squeeze out of dat do u think?
will the stock tranny be able to hold?

 

do to time constraints i wont have rods in the motor, so with the stock rods and the new low compression Pistons from CP Pistons and some tuning, we are looking for anything around 220 Horsepower to the wheels, and as for the trans, ill tell ya in a few months heheheeeehhh

 

That seems like a bad idea to me... The failure point looks to me to be the RODS in your pictures. The crank journal looks shiny (admittedly can't see it very well), but you can clearly see that the rod bent and fractured, likely due to high cylinder pressures.

Torque is produced from cylinder pressures, and HP is produced by torque @ an RPM point.

I certainly don't have the motor in front of me, but from what I see I would say that it's only a matter of time before you snap a rod again. That time is gonna get exponentially shorter with every pound of boost you add.

If you're under a time constraint I could see running the stock rods, but when it throws another rod I'll have every one know I called it!

Don't mean to make light of your misfortune, but I'd hate to see a "fit go boom! V2."

 

well when the stock rods go in we are gona tune it for about 150 160 for the few months im waiting for rods. we are gona play with it on the dyno just for a quick number to see, but yes i agree %110 with you that the rod was the failure and that is why i am waiting to do it right when the real rods go in is when we will turn it up and make all kinds of power

 

Yeah that was my main thing the tranny it might be able to hold up to 300 HP, butthe axels are prolly the weak link in this equation. Good luck, take it easy on the car and keep the boost low, cause I dont want to see you blow it up again

 

Dont put that motor together with stock rods. Youll do the same thing.
Check the FI section.... Pauter makes a set.

 

seriously?? I hang out there ALL the time! How'd I miss this?!

 

IDK if its true... Some guy said it.

 

Excellent! With forged rods and pistons you should be able to shoot for the moon! Honda bearings are generally trimetal and are very good. B, D, and H series guys use them for all sorts of things from high boost applications to 9000+ rpm madness. Honda cranks are basically bulletproof, so the last missing link is gonna be the sleeves, but that shouldn't be a problem for a long while.

 

ok with all the back and forth, of getting rods to not getting rods, i got in contact with Pauter Rods in Cali and they are gona send me a set next day to my house, so they should be here wednsday if they ship tomorrow. so now my fellow fit freakers we ar back on track to a fully built L15 iv been doing this all day
just look at those bad boys



4340 chrome molly Cross beam construction not H or I beam, One of the strongest Rods on the market!!!!

 

Holy shit son those are BEEFY!

 

lol yes they are. my engine builder told me straight up theses are the strongest Rods on the market. and i trust him when he makes clams like that. he is the sole builder of the motors in these two cars, so he reputation precedes him.

so will this work with the ARP bolts?

 

they come with arp bolts

 

i sent off another email for you so hopefully i hear back soon.

this is going to be one sick build

 

yes it will!!!!!, congrats u have made my sig

 

pics of those rods as soon as you get them!
