Starting @ $792.00
Specifications
E4340
vacuum melt chrome moly forging – CNC machined
Heat-treated to Rockwell C36; full coverage shotpeened; end-to-end balanced in sets.
Each rod comes standard with ARP 2000 bolts rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength.
Aluminum-bronze wrist pin bushings (standard.) EDM pressure-fed oiling to pin (available at extra cost.)
Custom pin diameters and center-to-center rod lengths can be ordered. High-performance bearings, tool steel wrist pins and forged aluminum pistons can be ordered specifically coordinated to your rod order (please inquire.)
The following list is a sampling of popular rods for all crank driven engines. It is by no means a complete listing. Keep in mind that we are geared for the production of custom sizes in nearly all engine series.
Years of hands-on experience, working with rods of all shapes and materials, of all types of racing and racing-related abuse, with design failures (and successes), has resulted in a fairly comprehensive file on just what works - and what doesn't - on the subject of high performance connecting rods. From this body of knowledge we have selected and incorporated the elements into what it is we think a great rod should be. Right off, our rod looks different, that's obvious, but for some not so obvious and very good reasons.
For starters, the simple beam design completely eliminates thin and non-uniform cross sections over the total length of the beam. This feature greatly improves resistance to crack-induced metal fatigue. In addition, the non-tapered profile of the beam helps to spread potentially harmful stress over a larger area, dispersing instead of concentrating these destructive loads. The design also efficiently places needed material in critical transitional areas, giving maximum support exactly where it is needed (such as directly under the wrist pin). The streamlined contour also provides subtle benefits in the form of windage reduction. The main beam rib itself continues around the wrist pin boss, perfectly integrating the beam to the pin boss, a small, but important contribution to overall structural unity. Pauter rods are indeed, different by design.
Shown above left, an assortment of various types of Pauter rods.. All Pauter rods use 220K psi tensile strength bolts or optionally, Series 625 quality high tensile rod bolts. Above right, ARP 2000 rod bolts are standard on all Pauter rods unless otherwise specified. All Pauter 4340 Chrome-Moly rods are heat-treated to R/C 34-36 and full-coverage shotpeened. Rods are end to end balanced in sets and then final sized on the big and small ends.
Our involvement in the air-cooled racing industry is legendary. From the surprisingly versatile 1600cc VW to the 3.8L 911 RSR, we've made them all. In fact, if you are involved in the air-cooled racing venue, there is a good chance your competition is using one of the many variations we offer. Pictured above are our 911 3.2-3.6L rods in 4340 C'moly and 6AL4V titanium. As an added option, we offer most of our Porsche line-up with custom big end housing bore to accept GM/NASCAR high performance racing bearings. We can modify your damaged or undersized cranks to accept this type of bearing. Call our tech department for information.
All rods come standard with precision rod cap alignment sleeves pressed into the rod body to accurately and repeatedly locate the cap, restrict split line creep and maintain bore concentricity. All rods are manufactured with aluminum bronze wrist pin bushings unless no bushing is specifically requested. Rods can be ordered with upgrade bolts if desired (this extra cost option must be coordinated with our sales department in advance). Direct pressure fed pin oiling (rifle drilling) is also an extra cost option but must be requested at the time of order. Rods outside our forging limits will be machined from the same material in solid bar stock, but will not follow normal pricing and delivery figures quoted in this blog or other Pauter literature.
The EBCS Pro Series 3-Port Electronic Boost Control Solenoid is designed to control todays high performance wastgates with it's ultra fast response and bomb proof design.
