Well this winter while the car is away I'll be starting my all motor build.

A buddy of mine has a brand new set of Saenz rods at his shop and offered them to me. From what I've read no one has anything bad to say about them.

Jus want to make sure they are good in the high revs 9500rpm area with the proper backup in rod bolts and such.

Also I can't find pricing anywhere on these rods brand new for a B18C motor. Just wondering how much they are from a distributor.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

no one??

 

saenz

 

any reasoning behind that answer??

 

broke some in all motor setup

 

How crazy was the all motor set up?? I heard they are much better than Eagle rods. Anyone else have an opinion??

Here's the setup

Block:

B18C
Darton Sleeves
85mm Endyne rollerwaves 12:0.1 (2.0ltr)
saenz rods
arp rod bolts,headstuds etc
micropolished,shaved and balanced Type R crank

Head:

Type R
port and polished
port matched
Skunk 2 Pro1 cams
Rocket motorsports Gen 2 valve springs and retainers
Skunk2 cam gears
Buddy Club Flat faced valves

Ignition:

MSD digital 6

Other odds and ends here and there but that is the basics. Obviously new gaskets, seals, bearings, blah blah blah.

Already have a Hytech Header on my car right now so that's taken care of and an AEM CAI, I'll bore out the Throttle body and other little things

I'll be reving to where it makes power but thinking it'll be in the 9000-9500 rpm range.

That's why I'm wondering if these rods will hold out.

If anyone else has insight let me know. I know not to many people run these rods but as said I've heard they are much better than Eagle.
