New duramax rods iv been working on
- Thread starter Pootrol
- Start date
Sorry guys I want no part of this one I dont even want somebodies motor that has these things in it on our engine dyno.
Hurting a motor with the risk factor involved in these rods also holds huge risk of doing damage to our engine dyno at the same time. No thanks.
From the initial word of the initial post was off. Time line and emails I have received from this company do not even come close to what he is pitching here. This company in China 100% made a valiant attempt to knock off a carrillo and RR rod which from my findings and research has failed miserably at the attempt to replicate.
It appears this Huricane rod company from over seas not only tried to cut copy past the product but also the mass emails they sent out to try and hook line sink someone in the diesel industry. Its a good thing the diesel world is smaller then some of these companies may realize to avoid people from damaging there pocket books on investment.
To the origininator of the thread these things where available for cummins a year or so again and somebody tried selling them in a very similar way to your attempt and from my understanding almost every set failed from 500hp up. Not to mention the amount of detail they needed before they could even be installed. Good luck to you and your ventures.
Chengdu is the name of the hurricane company. It is also on his material test sheet he posted. Same company. I will pass on this whole idea.

Atleast they put there true meaning in the factory name lol.
Conrod factory established in 2000 :spit:

Well if they wanted to charge EDP almost $500 a set. I'd say the OP is out atleast $50,000 USD.
Well...
That ended miserably. Guess the notion of "cheap" diesel parts is about as obtainable as 600rwhp with just a "tuner"...:rofl:

Thats the best part is they wanted $27 per rod 27x8= $216 w/ what they claimed would be equivalent to the Arp bolts used in Carrillo per tensile strength. Then if we wanted to upgrade to the 625 series from ARP it would bump the price to $475 shipped per set. If anybody knows how much 625's are that right there should throw up a huge red flag.
I can NOT STRESS HOW MUCH of a BAD idea this is to use these things. I would feel more confident in a stock OEM Duramax rod with std bolts.
Like it was stated previously you are going to pay for what you get and why on earth would you want to cut corners on anything on a short block of a Duramax with all the known issues we face in both stock and built configurations.
ok sorry bud look all i wanted to put forward is an alternative for people.
here are material certs for these rods
So you spent 7months making the rods. But your material certification dates back to 2012?
