built or factory? if built ,they all can go
way past 7000 even big blocks..

forging does not compress is re-structers or changes the grains pattern making them stronger!!!

billet is a solid chunk of metal cut down to said item. so you take say a slab of metal and cut it down to a rod using cnc machining.
forging is when you compress that metal, changing the shape. It compresses metal molecules and changes the grain, which is bad for metal.
What you refer to, forged machined, is like with rays racing rims. They forge then machine the left over for roundness accuracy. It makes the metal lighter, but that also means they are easier to break.
Learn your shit…

no forged is if u ever watch how they forge something u would know, and billet ok but not the best, like he says forged machined

Nice video. I rated your video after watching it. I am running a marketing campaign to start a large auto detailing chain corporation. Let me know what you think by checking out my channel. Thanks

I dont think they are forged but they are stronger than your average rod somehow

your stock itr rods are probably forged, right? i think these rpm is not as relevant personally, obviously the stroke makes the huge difference. like bikes that can go to 12k rpm probably have forged rods.

a real forged, you would think would be close to billet in the rpm range…

billet is always best IMHO because its a solid piece instead of 2 pieces put together or hot liquid metal pored into a mold. billet is always better.

Yup….
Shot peening and better rod bolts will increase fatigue limits as well.
Remember,.. the rod is stressed the most at “TDC” during the exhaust stroke. Its literally being stretched.
originaldriver
09/02/10 @ 4:47 pmstroke has more to …
stroke has more to do with rpm tolerance than rod designbecause stroke determines the piston speed at TDC.
The connecting rod is under the most stress when the when the piston is halted at TDC after traveling to the top of the bore.
This sudden “halt” at TDC generates tremendous forces on the rod and the rod bolts.
Most well-built street performance engines will perform safely at 4000 ft/sec of piston speed.
Use this formula…
max rpm = (max piston speed X 6) / stroke

All those rods have such a low RPM tolerrance? I rev my Integra type R to 9500 on stock rods with no problems

Balancing is necessary, polishing doesn’t hurt either.
