Low budget Lightweight Rods for 20$ | High HP Low $ NA Miata Engine | As light as aluminium rods! 

Yeah next part is the crank though i have to get it rebalanced first and still thinking about getting it ground down since one journal has a bit of scoring but not terribly much

@@throttlebuddies6356 Hi, when are you planning to upload the followup on this video? I could not wait to see this project finished!

@@RaoulRacingRC unfortunately i dont have a car for this engine right now and also very little time so i dont actually know, sorry, but i already modified the crank and started work on the pistons and looked into what to do on the block

Please also release a video explaining what you did there. Would be very interesting to watch and maybe to replicate!

@@RaoulRacingRC that was my intention when doing that also

yeah you definetly need some strength in the rods still, but reasearching some different engines that have MUCH thinner rods and knowing, that these rods are able to handle about 300 hp in a boosted application would give me confidence to shave off even more although im not going to. I love getting the most out of cheap parts thats basicically the main goal on this channel. because it works just aswell in most cases. im gonna go for stock pistons because the bores are still plenty within spec and im probably gonna remove about 30-40 gramms from each piston. Im also going to lighten the crankshaft and have it be rebalanced and save about 1.5 to 2kg there. The stock valves also have huge optimization potential since they are very thick at the base.

excuse me, i dont really understand what you mean with that

@@throttlebuddies6356 The plant also cannot understand why it is not given a stage. At the top left.
