Are the Prius connecting rods good for turbo application??
Hi guys, I've been thinking of putting some forged pistons and connecting rods in my 2005 scion xb. Right now the car produces 148hp/145tq with a mild tune.
I was wondering since the prius comes with forged connecting rods, if i can use them with the cp pistons to max out my turbine(greddy 14g max output 250-260) using that combination. I don't know how much power can those rods hold but since they are forged maybe they could hold that amount of power. If anybody knows I'll appreciate it! |

I don't think anyone has tried this. Not sure if the connecting rods would be mix 'n match with either your pistons or the crankshaft in an xB

You are right, I never thought of that. I'll have to go with crowers or pauter rods :/ and that means more $$.. Glad for your answer Micro Image! I had to ask before committing a mistake xD! Anyways here are some pics of my set up! hope you all appreciate!

I get max boost 7 psi at 4000rpm.. i think if I change the piping to 2 inches it will make a big difference.

I'd like CTScott to share some info on this. From what I have been reading, the prius rods should fit directly into the standard 1nz.

It's a 4 yr thread. I'd probably PM him rather than expecting him to just chime in.
