First set of parts showed up today...

[BACARDI_DWB]

Sorry i only had my camera phone.

These are my Forged Pauter Rods, all Cryotreated ready to go.

Next to come in the mail is some Custom Wiseco Pistons and the head ships out tuesday for a full Race Ports and Custom valvetrain from fidanza/crower..

This is just the begining and there is more to follow.

[themadscientist]

So is that an "x-beam"?

[tyrannix]

they came cryo treated from pauter, or you sent them to a place first?

[capwred]

looking nice.that 510 is going to be bad ***

[BACARDI_DWB]

i had them sent to a place to get cryotreated before i even laid eyes on them..

[tyrannix]

since youre the first one who ive seen do it, you get the questions now:

better to cryo treat before or after machining to spec?

i would think after?

because the cryo is supposed to contract the molecules, then expand them back to normal uniformly (isnt that the idea of a forged item anyway?)

but would further machining cause inconsistencies near the tooling?

or does teh cry process leave the item in *EXACTLY*( the same shape afterwords? .... if that were the case, then obviously machining -THEN cryo would be the way to do itBut, is that the case?

[BACARDI_DWB]

well let me tell you it this way. i have known a few f1 cars to take the whole rotating driveline and cryotreat it as a whole assembly then lube it up and race it. that is actually the best way. and yes you are right if lets say i decide to take some meat off the rods to make them balanced and it was cryotreated before hand. then yes it would not be "neutral" it would be off. but for the most part you would have most of the product neutralized. but once again cryotreating as a whole assembly is the best way to go

[Not_a_sr]

for that kind of money i would want the "D" in Ca18det on the spec sheet. lol

[BACARDI_DWB]

yeah i noticed that and checked all the clearances with the stock one and there is no difference, they just forgot to put the "d" in there.. no big deal....

[Kouks]

On the Wiseco pistons, what kind of CR are you using and what bore did you select.....

[dat_twinkie]

thats nice dude.. sweet deal you gots there..

[BACARDI_DWB]

going with a 86.5 mm bore and a 8.5:1 compression ratio. they are forged and the main difference from the ones i am getting and the ones they sell is i am doing a custom deck on top of the rings to allow for more heat transfer before contacting the rings. (pretty much more material on top of the rings)

[bentvalves]

a custom deck on top of the rings to allow for more heat transfer before contacting the rings. (pretty much more material on top of the rings)

that sounds like an excellent idea, how much did it cost for wiseco to make you those pistons, and will you cryo them as well?

**goes and googles cryotreating**

[BACARDI_DWB]

well my price is about $160.00 a piston cryotreated with rings and pins. plus some shipping costs also..

[BACARDI_DWB]

well i am sending my rods back to pauter...

for some more work hehei am going to have them do the:EDM pressure-fed oiling to pin and also install oiling channels into the rods.. more information can be found here:45$ per rod

i get some pictures to show when they are done

[float_6969]

Wow, they didn't have an oil channell in them already? That's scary for a high rev motor. They're in there stock IIRC....
