Ok, I still have my stock rods, and after talking to a bunch of engine builders, ect. They all say cryo freezing is amazing. I talked to the guy who froze all my stuff and asked him about my stock rods, and how GM claims them to handle 400-450 hp. He said after being frozen he would safely say they could handle AT LEAST 600-650 hp. So my question is, would someone be willing to buy my cryo frozen stock rods? They are obviously stronger than stock, and WAY cheaper than custom billet rods. I'm just asking so I don't just waste the money getting them frozen, and never sell them. Please PM if your really interested.

 

its not worth it ....our stock internals are incredibly strong....even GM drag ecotecs run mostly stock internals on the drag cars with a few swaps of course

 

But those cars are not street cars and have engines replaced on a seasonal basis.

 

Like pistons, rods, crank, and block

 

 

honestly who's running 600hp on a street cobalt?...hmm maybe zzp thats about it..lol....i dun much see the point....how much is he charging you, how long with your balt be down, can you get a seller, is it cost effective?

o yea an they get rebuilt but there internals rarely break and they don't rebuild as often as you think....when we got the chance to speak with the techs an stuff at englishtown they said they've been running stock internals (the same ones they started with) for quite some time...an that includes pistons rods an stuff

 

thats what i'm using is cryod stock rods, they are sintered steel and can handle alot. with cryo treatment they should be extremely strong.

 

I'm mostly trying to sell these rods to someone who is installing aftermarket pistons. You have to remove the rods anyway. Its a safety precaution more than anything. Why not install rods that are much stronger, than stock. Some guy whos going turbo may want them, or someone who blew a piston and bought forged pistons.

Hmm thats nice. I'm using cryo'd custom billet steel rods.... I WIN!!!

jk man, I had to do it

 

Well I am usi........nah thats too easy

 

You don't count. We aren't billionaires like you

 

it's cool, more than enough for my build, which will hopefully be done this weekend!

 

Billonaire??? What account is that money in???
Sorry Cam but I am a working stiff just like 99% of the guys/gals on here.

 

You must make damn good money then. 80% of people out there can't afford to pour $100,000+ plus into a car like you.

 

technicly I can hardly afford to buy what little parts that I have... stupid credit card

 

I'm sittin on two maxed out credit cards right this second

 

Hey look... everyone is comparing their rods!



Yeah... I'm just using JBP's....

 

how much would this cost??? I might be interested later this summer!

 

I was thinking about charging around $100-$150. I'm also selling my original rods, with only $11,000 miles and frozen. $300 shipped OBO

 

your using some other guys rod.................

 

Ah ****....

 

***!!!

 

so how much to buy the rods cryo treated from you?? cuz i will need this once i build the motor.

 

2.4L rods are different sized than LSJ rods. You could send me your stock rods, and I could get them frozen for you.

 

Im not exactly sure how this works, but if you freeze something, wont they just thaw at some point?

 

LOL The process takes the metal down to -325*F for a 24 hour period, then brings them gradually back up to temp. The process realigns the molecules, thus increasing strength. Its like hardening steel without making it more brittle. If you freeze a razor, and use it regualarly, it will be just as sharp 2 weeks later. Tiger Woods has been cryo freezing his golf club for more than 15 years.
