Hello,
I am thinking to use on my c20xe engine the x22xe engine block.
Does anybody knows what is the length of the connecting rod on these engine?
I must know because I want to see if the rod/stroke is good for 8000rpm reving.
Also I will make custom steel rods for this aplication.
So does anybody measured a x22xe con rod?
Some say that is 148mm.
But I found in a url that pauter was made a steel con rod of 159,5mm length for 2.2 calibra turbo use.

2.2L 16V Calibra, Vectra Turbo connecting rods 6.280" (inches) = 159,5mm
So is this the correct length for the x22xe connecting rods?
If yes the rod/stroke is even better than the c20xe engine itself!
rod/stroke c20xe 143mm / 86mm = 1,662
rod/stroke c22xe 159,5mm / 94,6mm = 1,685
Thanks,
Alex
