08/07/21 08:53 AM08/07/21 08:53 AM #53 Author Update: engine build complete. Went JE pistons with upgraded wrist pins. Howards billet rods. Should be good for 1200hp.

10/07/21 04:21 AM10/07/21 04:21 AM #59 What made you go with the howards rods? Ive got a set in my built sohc bit worried about breaking them when I turn it up past 1100hp after a mate has broken one. You got any plans for a bigger then the g35-900 in future?
10/07/21 09:05 AM10/07/21 09:05 AM #60 Author My engine builder is a fan of US made stuff, and Howards seem to have a rep for being well finished billet steel rods. Was originally going to get Carillo rods, but there was a 4 month wait on those. Looked at Nitto, but the Howards are significantly cheaper. The G35-900 will only make 600rwkw absolute max, so I'll be well within safety margins. Not interested in massive turbos
