Taking a titanium rod and removing material.

Seems like self-defeating but I guess since the material is titanium it is still stronger than some OEM cast rod while being much lighter. Material is obviously removed to keep it as light as possible so in a high revving application that is paramount.

These are going in a 12000 rpm all motor Honda B-Series stroker:

Probably too many hands in the cookie jar at this point.:(


I have done an extensive search for an effective management system. I need a piggy back system.:hmm:


AEM FIC (tried, ECU is too smart)
HPF AEM V2 - not paying $1000 to unlock (plus purchase price)
HALTECH - doesn't control dual vanos
MORISTECH - doesn't control dual vanos (and no tuner)
ViPEC - way out of budget!!!!


MAP ECU 3 - appears to be a great product, but no one has tuning experience with it.


So that only leaves proEFI, but a new system is way out of budget.





Who else has one?:eeps: ]]> Advanced Tech Diablorojo http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthread.php?38947-Piggy-back-for-non-M
