What turbo are using? how big is the i/c? I don't care if you are making 650hp but you can't put it to the ground, that is just wasted power. Care to share us your set up? Anyway, good luck. I'm in the same boat like you are. I've invested 17g in it.
The turbo will be a t4 i believe 70 trim. It's the same turbo that inline pro uses on their all drag civic. I'm not sure about the size of the intercooler other than, well the bumper is gonna have to be chopped up alot. Traction shouldn't be an issue. I wish i could list it all, but there are some thieves out here, i already have one suspect for who stole my stuff this past weekend, and he's on here. I will post slips and dyno runs.

Have you guys ever really put an Eagle rod next to a Crower or Manley rod? Look at the difference between the rod bolts of Eagle and Crower. Measure the quality between the rods in the critical areas. You will see why the American made Crower and Manley rods are more expensive and worth it if you are going for all out power.

Wow.. sounds like a crazy setup.. Other people already asked.. I'm assuming your swapping in a b motor instead of sticking with your d motor?

Also, running 9's is not very likely unless you lighten the car alot = not street legal.
Good luck.

Well i won't be using the d series anymore. And yea, 9's equal not street legal, but i'm gonna get as close as possible, and if i can find someone to pass me emissions and inspection wise, i'll go even further.

i never really got an answer for my f22 engine awhile back..... does eagle make rods for the f22? if not, can they make custom rods for my f22b1???

Give Rocket an instant message on this board. He can set you up with some Eagle rods for your f22 with a custom piston setup.

Eagle rods are good man! They can hold the power, and the metalurgy of the rods are pretty good. By the way they are made in Tawian, not china. The labor for the rods are done in Tawian, the materials are from china (the metals).
