what do you guys think of eagle rods. I have a gsr powered civic with a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo. I want to boost about 6 or 7 pounds daily and boost about 12 to 14 pounds when needed. What do you guys think?
Also what pistons do all of you prefer and what compression? Thanks.

 

Eagle rods are good rods, and they are awesome the money. My LS is getting a set.

I think if you're not going to be sleeving a block, eagle rods are the way to go. People seem to like using them with the Endyn/Wiseco pistons.

 

TurboInteg95 - If you're not sleeving they're the way to go?

I'm having Golden Eagle sleeve my block. Why not use the Eagle/RW combo w/ a sleeved block?

For the Money; You can't go wrong!

well so far I havent seen any proof that the eagle rods are as strong as Crowers. It just seeems like a good idea that if you're investing that much money to have your block sleeved, you might as well go with the Crower rods that are proven to over 600hp.

 

have installed several sets of eagles with no problems to date, some over 2.5 years ago. great rods

 

I have them, I read H beams are one of the strongest made rods. Sport Compact car and several dealers quoted this. I am using them with a block guard and JE pistons. THey are great. Good for the money and seems to be great for the strength.


LOL peace out

 

JG made a 769 HP at the flywheel motor with straight out of the box eagle rods... They help up without issues.

JG prefers Eagle rods for their motors.

 

Where's a good place to get them? What pistons would you guys recommend to lower compression and go w/ these rods?

 

You can get them at http://www.raceeng.com ! We just installed JE's w/ Eagle rods in my buddy's 92 hatch (94 B18C1) along with a Cometic .030" headgasket and Nuformz block guard! We ran the car this weekend here at the IDRC event in Arizona! He netted a best of 12.02 @ 115 @ 14.5 psi ! We ended up going with 9.0:1 CR JE's! The kit consists of:

Log type Stainless Steel Manifold
T3/T04E (.63 housing Stage III Turbine & 57 trim .60 A/R Compressor)
RC Engineering 310cc Injectors
Vortech FMU (8:1 Disc)
2.5" - 3.0" Downpipe
XS Engineering Silvia Core (20 x 10.94 x 3)
JE 81.5mm 9.0:1 CR Pistons
HPC Coatings (Pistons, Manifold, Downpipe, Exhaust Housing)
Eagle Rods
Cometic .030" Headgasket
Nuformz Block Guard (Not Welded)

The car hauls *** at only 1 bar! We are going to dyno it next week to see what kind of power it is making!
