Investigating parts for my build and was looking for the weight of each manufactures components. I have listed the ones that I have found and would be great if others could add to it. This is based on a VQ35DE.

Not sure if it is worth a sticky but the mod's can decide on that.

Connecting Rod (Grams / HP per Rod)
STOCK = 54?
PAUTER = 630-640
EAGLE = 550
CARRILLO PRO-H = 544
CARRILLO PRO-SA = 517
BRAIN CROWER PRO SERIES = 532
GTM VQ35 = 480 / 200
GTM VQ35 EXTREME DUTY = 500 / 350
COSWORTH FORGED STEEL A BEAM =
COSWORTH FORGED STEEL H BEAM =

Pistons (Grams)

STOCK = 393
GTM / ARIAS VQ35 EXTREME DUTY LIGHTWIEGHT = 386
GTM / WISECO VQ35 EXTREME DUTY LIGHTWIEGHT = 409
ARIAS = 356
MAHLE = 365
WISECO = 376
CP = 380

 

you may want to consider adding pin weights too.

Also, the Mahle pistons weigh 365g.

 

added Mahle weight. Pin weights would differ but will prove difficult to find out their weights. Good point though

 

No one has stock weights handy?

 

Great thread!

It would also be beneficial to post any known failures in VQ35 motors. I don't know of any such component failures, but if anybody else does, please post them along with the hp level at which the failures occured.

Also, to the moderators, this should probably be made a sticky...

 

I cannot edit my original post above for some reason. CP = 380

Still haven't found stock weight though.

Keep in mind some of the info is from original vendor documentation and some is from workshops/threads that I have spoken with.

 

Added stock weights from here https://my350z.com/forum/1112742-post21.html

 

Brian Crower = 532 grams

 

added.. to list thx..

 

I'll try to weigh an OEM one today, I have a non revup rod at the shop from my donor motor

 

::BUMP:: to find known failures at specific setup with CR used

 

Just checked stock DE componenets on a digital letter scale that only goes up to 500g so its accurate. Had to weigh in pieces obviously but heres what i got.

Rod - 368g
Rod Cap - 179g
Rod Bolts - 20g each x2

Piston - 395g
Rings - 26g
Wrist Pin - 106g
Pin Clips - 1g each x2

 

im also putting a parts list together,made lots of changes lol
as far as fails,i have seen cp pistons 8:5:1 CR with eagle H beam rods shoot out the side of the block at 700hp,on this site actually.i bring it up because i was looking into it myself,good deal i was getting...my 2cents
