I have blown gearboxs, injectors out the head, HGs, turbos, manifolds - rods have survived!
There are a couple of people interested in a set in the near future. Send me a PM if you would like to be part of the next group buy. Price should be less than 500 Euro depending on exchange rate or wherever Trump has started WW3.
I agree when you spend 2500 on engine build, it is worth for piece of mind.
Thank you for the proposal j speaks to my brother and I am sending a PM if it is always ok to buy a set of rods forged for 1.9.
It is possible that in the end he buys a low engine of xud11 this has him to see him speaks to him and I would tell you his choice.
220 cv sa doi heater you thought to put an electric water pump in addition to that of the xud may be that the head of breech will hold longer time?
i think upgrading the water pump to a bigger impeller might good idea - or bypass and fit high flow electric pump
I use a bigger alloy radiator cheap from ebay - needed some modifications to make fit completely OEM - but on track it held water temps really well.
