C.A.R. Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 You bought the wrong length rods, didn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

600Z Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 How much difference is 2.8mm going to make if you use the L24 rods though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZR Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Actually, using L14 137mm long rods will make quite a difference! gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) That'd be for the LD28 crank wouldn't it? Edited January 14, 2018 by Howdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZR Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nah, L28 crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.A.R. Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Very. And you wouldn't bother. FJ20 rods are similar length, and you can buy H-beam versions from MaxSpeeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 17, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2018 How hard is it to find L14 Rods? I have 12... but they are almost impossible to find now... Very. And you wouldn't bother. FJ20 rods are similar length, and you can buy H-beam versions from MaxSpeeding. How long are FJ20 rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1600dave Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) 140mm. Little end is 22mm rather than 21mm for L-series. And if you're really lucky, you may find a seller that will accept an epic lowball offer.......

FWIW the gudgeon pin size isn't an issue, as you'd just have the forged pistons made to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1600dave Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Surprised and then concerned that they were either dodgy rods or a dodgy seller. When they arrived, they turned out to be Maxspeeding rods, look quite good, weigh within half a gram of each other. And yep, they'll be teamed with custom pistons for a KA24DE headed L18 (or maybe L20) Edited January 17, 2018 by 1600dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZR Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've tried FJ20 rods, they're too long which places the piston pin too high (good luck finding a piston that works) & too chunky around the journals, the block needs to be recessed quite a bit to allow the crank to turn.

PZG302 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Pistons are pretty cheap to get made to what you require. When the last freshen up was done on my race motor, I needed new pistons as 4 out of the six had smashed ringlands. The pistons were Mitsubishi and NLA. Was surprised at the cost of getting new ones made the same from JP Pistons in Adelaide, much cheaper than I though they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
