Syed Shah Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 http://www.junauto.co.jp/products/cylinderblock-part/connecting-rod/index.html?en Anyone ever used them? Any comments? I hear Carillo make Greddy rods. We know Cosworth make JUN pistons, do they make the rods too? Thanks P.S Any traders reckon they can get these for a good price?

Terminator Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi Syed, been a while. I am not 100% sure but I though Cosworth made most of JUN internal performance parts. Pretty sure their cams are Cosworth. They are heavier than Carrillo's BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yes - I will be doing a 1JZ build in the new year - so Nic I will be in touch Hi Term, hows your project going? It is surprising they are heavier than the Carillos (Greddy) rods. What I would like to know is are the stronger (ie is it worth the extra weight?). I take it nobody here has used JUN rods or pistons before? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 That'll be me!. One thing I can tell you is a set might be 12-1400 pounds but to get one more matched costs 700 on its own. I had a small set back in may this year when my flex plate bolts came undone setting in motion a wobble on the crank (8000rpm's + on the dyno) with race fuel. I had a rod bolt stretch and undo:( but the rod itself held together with one bolt on the bottom bracket! So fairly tough. I was going to use the same one again but on close inspection the lower bracket had been buckeled a very small amount. I said 'ok just get me another to be safe' not knowing it would be 700 pounds for one . Based on that alone I wouldn't use jun again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ouch - cheers for the info and the heads up Robbie! I will have to investigate the replacement costs on the Greddy ones too and see how much that influences my choice. My fear with such parts is exactly what you have been through - not the buying in the first place; but the risk of buying again! I think if I broke a built engine I would cry.
