Ok so I'm nearing the end of gathering up all my parts for the build. I was considering just using some LS rods, but I recently ran into a good deal on TT rods.

I've read a lot of mixed opinions on them saying everything from "they aren't much stronger than stock" to "they are the same as eagle/crower/scat"

which is more accurate? I only plan on making about 200-225whp at first(just to get used to the characteristics of a turbo car) then later get a better manifold and turbo and shoot for 250+.

 

Alot of people have use the tt rods with no problems. If they are not much stronger than stock then why would people but them in the first place. I am starting on a d-series built and I sure will use the tt rods if I can find them. I know they sell fast.

 

They've been proven numerous times take the same abuse that Eagle/Scat/Crower rods can.

 

Ive been beating on my TunerToys i-beam rods for quite some time now.

TunerToys parts and customer service everytime!

 

i thought tuner toys had their h beam rods discontinued for a bit since they were wanting to redesign em.

still discontinued......they probably wont be back in production for a while....last time i emailed em, which wdas 4 months back, they were still discontinued

 

does anybody know if you still need to notch the block with these?

 

well, unfortunately they werer sold before I could get them. as for the block notching, I heard that's why they were redesigning them

 

^ Block notching is require if you are using aftermarket h-beam rods into any d-series. They redesign because poeple that had the old rods was having issue with the rods being too wide and not fit into the clylinder wall. Maybe somebody can confirm this?

 

Sean i have my Shotpeened polished LS rods with ARP rod bolts from my Z6 if your interested..... no notching required
