Well they say they are rated for 600hp and look like eagles but im not too sure if i should trust them or not.

Don't even go there... They're probably made of plastic...

and they don't even come with bolts... and they are china rods...

by the time you buy arp bolts you could've bought real rods

phaphon

^^ didnt notice that .

Alright, just figured i would see if anyone had used them before and had success. Just gonna buy some eagles with the ARP rod bolts. Thanks fellas.

First, what are you building exactly as the Eagle rods may not be the best alternative.

osbunjosh

Turbo d16y8.
Z6 crank
Vitara pistons
ACL rod and mains
Ported oil pump
All new water pump, timing belt, and all that goodness.

Do not get the the Eagle rods then unless you REALLY want 7.5:1 compression. This is EXTREMELY low and the engine WILL be a turd out of boost. Your best bet is to purchase "custom" length rods that will bump the compression to a miserable, but more usable 8.5:1 ratio. Make sure you run the Y8 head gasket, the 2 layer one preferably. I know on eBay the rods and pistons were going for less than $500 as a combo. You really should have researched more before you dove in head first to get your feet wet.

Well I did research A LOT. D-series.org, Google. All of it. I want custom length rods but could not find any brand new... Last ones i seen were on P2P0.com or something like that and they are not in stock anymore. I know of FJ's too but dont know any vendors or websites that sell them. Only thing i can find is used. Care to point me in the right direction?
