I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

Maybe I am lost here but is the journey to build a ti rod IN HOUSE or is the result to have a light weight TI rod for a project.????
As for TI, to machine a Ti rod one needs a Ti forging, a piece of billet won't get the job done. Don't ask me how I know! I have used crower Ti con rods for years with much more life than 40 hours. They will make any con rod in Ti very reasonably. If the journey is not the idea, and the result is, then call Crower, you will have them in 5 weeks. And a Ti Rod must have an upper end bushing. Crower uses some sort of surface treatment on their Ti rods. Erik Madsen |
