I want to know what everyone recomends as far as rods for a heavily boosted motor.I can get a damn good deal on eagles but have heard of people breaking them under heavy boost.

 

for what you are asking your going to pay for what you get. but I would say some PAUTER RODS.

 

heard all good things about the eagles! im investing in them myself for my d16z6! apparently they are only bad if incorrectly installed!!!!

 

If I was building an all out race engine or just had the extra money to spend I'd use the Paulters. But if you search around more posts on H-T you will find that Eagles are a good budget choice for boosted engines (street and race) with both low and higher boost pressures.

I'm using Eagles and I'm not worried, they are working out fine for my needs and should continue to do so for some time.

What kind of power is everybody running with the eagles?

7lbs right now

 

I am building the motor to handle 28 or 30 so if I need to turn it up I don't have to worry about anything.

 

i use crowers. boosting 29 psi. about 550-560 whp.

 

I know everyone has heard bad things about eagles, but i have HEARD(yes its hearsay...don't flame me) the big problem is the rod bolts, inline uses eagles, just with the upgraded rod bolts.....arp i believe.

 

they are probably upgrading to the arp 220,000 bolts. I think that is right.
