How much horse power does the M20 ETA 325 Rods can take?

[Sotico777]

Hello guys

I´m trying to figure out how much abuse can take a ETA M20 325 rod, if some one can help me with some hp numbers I would appreciate it!

400 is pretty reasonable, but it's not a limit.

HP is basically based on how fast you spin the motor. what you should really be asking is, how much torque can it hold?

There's not a defninite answer.

I read somewhere that the eta crankshaft, though the rev limit is 4500 is actually proven to over 7000

[nando]

I've had my eta crankshaft to 7500 many times

[Sotico777]

Your absolutely right, how much torque can it hold?

[nando]

Who knows. there isn't a definite limit that somebody can tell you.

I am trying to find out how much horse power can a stroker engine with forged pistons and forced induction can handle?

It is a project that we are trying to do so any advise is welcome

The guys in sweeden are making 700+ HP on stock "i" bottom ends. I don't know how much stronger the "i" rods are but i'd sugges those with forged pistons. What kind of power are you trying to make?

[Sotico777]

Thank you so much for your response, we are going for at least 350 hp but we don´t know how much is going to put down.

I will let you know if it makes good hp or if it explodes!

I bought wiseco 86mm pistons, cometic gasket and arp screws.

[einstein57]

sounds like you'll have no problem with that goal. happy boosting.

Thank you very much einstein57 for the info.

Has someone reached about 400 hp with stock eta M20 rods?...just in case!

In other words has someone done something alike and what were the numbers to the wheels?
