if you personally have had problems or any positive experiences with either of these rods please state so. probes come with 9mm bolts and eagle with 8mm. probe are also lighter.
im building my b18c1 in january so i need to start buying parts. please help

 

never heard of probes....

 

Importbuilders.com sells them. supposed to be 15% lighter than eagle.

im doing an NA setup w/ IB spec Wiseco's for around 12:1 compression. im sure plenty of you here on this forum kno about them, ...anyone>?

 

probes are good. personally i hate eagle, just becasue alot of people see them as a all in one rod. probes, on the other hand, are more or less designed to run in allmotor apps, thats whyt hey are 15% lighter and are only capable of handling ithink ~350HP

 

I had Eagle rods in my motor for a while with no problems, but the size of the rod bolts had me nervous anywhere past 9,000 rpm. I got the Probes and the rod bolts were 1mm thicker, which I liked. I ended up going back to my Crowers for other reasons -easier to rebuild a motor and do the swap later, rather than pulling the motor and rebuilding it at the same time.

 

probes are going into my build.

 

What size rod bolts do crowers have thats what i am running..

 

I believe that the Crower rod bolts are 3/8". They are bigger than the Probe rod bolts by a little.

 

No ****?... damn now i wont fell so bad about 10k =o)

 

I haven't found Probe rods for a GS-R, do they even make them? What is the weight of the rods in grams?

 

for a little more.. i would ditch out for a the crower econo billets.. just my opinion

 

They do make Probe rods for a GSR-I had a set. Got them from Jeff.

I'm using Probes with IB Spec 11.8:1 Wiseco's in my B20VTEC. I'm very happy with this setup and the quaility of the Probe's is great. I'm running on stock sleeves bored out to 85 mm. and has 1500 miles on it. Not problem so far
For NA buy Probe and use Eagle for FI.
