I am currently putting this setup together:

B18C5 Block w/ RS Machine Sleeves
84mm Endyn Rollerwave Pistons (12.5:1 CR)
Crower Econo Rods
JDM ITR Crankshaft
B16B Head w/ Endyn Headwork
JUN Stage III Cam Package
JUN Header
ITR Intake Manifold
Spoon TB

My question is:

Will the Crower Econo rods be good enough for this build?

I want to rev it to 9500. I am about to put this block together next week? Can I get your guyses opinons and thoughts so that I may change any thing before I assemble it? Thanks in advance.

 

Call Brian Crower and ask. When you call, they direct import questions to him, and he has always been responsive. If there's a practical limit, he should be able to tell you.

FYI -- Mark

 

Basically they are Eagle rods that go through Crower.

Thats what they look like to me.There also in the same price range.Try the new eagle rods,i heard they have the bigger rod bolts now.

 

i heard that the Crower Econs had bigger Rod Bolts then the original Eagles...

 

Do they have bigger rod bolts or similar in size to the new Eagle rods?

 

So what's wrong with stock ITR rods?

OEM ITR Rods can run 300hp of boost....
just shotpeen then and ARP rodbolts...
^i said that like 5 times today...

 

I already have the Crower Econo rods. I have just heard rumours of them not being safe in the 9000-10000 RPM Range. Does anyone have experience with these?

For those of you with Eagle rods, are you revving this high without any problems?

Unless it is an all out race car, I see no reason at all to upgrade connecting rods really especailly in an ITR.

Hey if people wanna buy rods its their money. The OEM rods are way good enough for NA.

 

Sorry must of missed that.
