Default Eagle rods made of titanium

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

I was wondering if anyone heard of these rods for our cars? It does not say how much HP you can make out of this thing. Will this handle over 650whp in turbo application?

Those rods are mainly for N/A use I believe b/c of hte lightweight. Either way they work well, but you are better off spending money on pauters or manley really.

i dont know for a fact... but i would bet it can handle 650whp + no better then forged steel rods... because titanium is generally considered as strong as steel, but alot lighter.

IF these are real titanium eagle rods... then they will handle 650whp fine. The 4340 steel rods will handle that much hp just fine. The reason for the titanium rod besides that fact that titanium is as strong as steel... is that it's lighter also... prolly the main reason for using them.

there is one problem with titanium. it likes to grab and marr other metals, because of its hardness.

I guess I'll be using some other rods besides this one. I guess Titanium is for people that have big sponsors and don't care about rebuilding their motor every so often.
