RB25det conrods help!!!!

[mr.nismo1]

How much HP can the stock RB25det conrods handle? My engine is pushing 600+HP with stock internal exept pistons but i want to push it more but i need to know how much can it handle? thank you!

I don't doubt that the rods can handle the HP... however.. I do doubt the stock rod bots taking a dump at that power level.

I personally know of someone who stretched the rod bolts... mayhem ensued.

rocking stock retorqued studs on a 600whp car?
...you're living on the edge there.
upgrade to some forged rods if you want the bottom end to stay together.

Yeah, I'd say you're getting close to the limit. I rocked around 600 crank hp for a while with no problems on my HX40, but my buddy put a HX52 on his RB25 and bent 2 rods (didn't break the stock ring lands BTW--good tuning me thinks). He should have been making around 700hp at the crank with that turbo at 2.0 bar.
