D8A block and hdi conrods - Teddy - 14-11-2013

RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Mattcheese31 - 14-11-2013
rumour has it they're stronger, i've seen no proof but i'm happy to have a D8a block myself . .
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Teddy - 14-11-2013

i'm sure most people will say they are stronger, HDI that is . . .

I would say that its a load of bull sh*t

It's a myth I've blown 2 engines first was a dhy spat one rod
Most recently spat 2 rods on a low mileage d8a
Nothing's safe

I'm running a totally stock D8A with the VNT bar the arp studs
as danny said though...nothings really safe...
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Teddy - 14-11-2013
what have people ran on hdi rods ? didnt think it sounded right
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - padge - 14-11-2013
201bhp, he spat a rod, and theres a guy on here that ran 236bhp, think his is still going.
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Chris_90 - 14-11-2013
Like I said on fb stick to hdi rods I throw the d8a rods in my old d turbo
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - welshpug - 14-11-2013
I would imagine it was not the rod at fault really,more likely to be the bearing.
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Tom - 14-11-2013
I put Hdi rods in for piece of mind... Not that thats at all relevant to you
RE: D8A block and hdi conrods - Teddy - 14-11-2013
bearings then rod follow usally i think

Always the rods bending, or the bearings spinning as a result of the rods bending ....
