951 or 968 forged Connecting rods?
 

Does anyone know where I can find a quality set of Forged rods for my 968 turbo application? I've checked carrillo, pauter, a few others but they all want like $1,100.00 or more for a set of four. I mean come on I know thier for a porsche but you dont have to ream us in the Ass because we choose to own fine automobiles. Any help would be appreciated.

new rods aren't gonna be cheap bud, and your turbo project won't be cheap either

lindsey sells carrillo rods for just under $1000

Prepare to be reemed.

Do not use a 968 rod. If you PM me your e-mail address, I'll send you a picture of a 968,951, and pauter rod side by side and you'll see why I say that. I have a good set of 951 rods that I'll part with if you need them.

Here's the difference:

Aren't the 83 and early 84 NA rods the same as the 951?

i dont know if they are physically the same but they were forged...

Crower rods are about $780 for the set of 4 for the Porsche 968.

The 83 and early 84 rods are in fact forged, but they are physically different (though interchangable) from the 951 rods. I just put a set of these '83 rods in the 951 motor I am rebuilding now.
