I've searched for it and haven't found any worthy info out there. I think it would be benifical if we had a thread listing the weight of the most common rods used including stock. I'm most interested in comparing Eagle, Probe, Cunningham, and stock ITR rods. Any input would be great.

 

Here is a start from what I have found.

Eagle 525 gr.
Pauter 517gr.
Manely 472 gr.
Crower Billet 470 gr.
Carrillo 445 gr.

BTW all rods are for B18C, and "all-motor".

do u have the weight of the stock b18c rods..? so i can see the diff..

 

i think they are like 540? something like that, slightly more than the eagles


and we are talking full weight with bearings/rods bolts ect?

I don't think we should take bearing weight into account.

I'm pretty sure Eagle rods are heavier than most stock honda rods, or at least stock ITR rods.

So anyone have the weight of Probe ultralights and Cunningham's?

 

according to my balancer

Probe Rods 492 Grams (complete w/ the rod bolts)

-in the middle of the first page are the ITR rod masses that I got from Chris @ Top Speed

All the recorded data I have on the ITR rod masses.

547g 23 8
546g 23 8

from Chris @ Top Speed, Naples, FL
550g 22 5
547g 25 8
548g 22 5
549g 22 5

brand new set from Redgsr01
544g
553g
547g
547g

I haven't been able to get any of them on a connecting rod balance fixture yet, but as varied as the weights are on the pistons I've seen, the variance in rod weights doesn't worry me too much.

Do you know if thats with rod bolts or not? Good info so far everyone. Lets keep it going. I'm really eager to see what the Cunningham rods weigh (emailing them as we speak).

 

Those weights are just the advertised weights, not sure if they include bolts.

i made this thread awhile back. it mightr have some answers for you...

 

Seems like Probes are a pretty good buy (looking at weight). They come with 9mm ARP rod bolts if I'm not mistaken as well which is a plus.

Cunningham rods still hasn't replied to my email

 

After reading that last thread posted, I"m not even going to get rods for my motor. I actually do think its going to be overkill.

 

anybody have probe"s website? or who carry probe rods?

 

I do know that the eagle h22a rods are lighter than a stock h22a rods.My machine shop checked them and they said they were lighter.I checked myself again on a postal scale and i do remember that they were lighter.i had the numbers written down somewhere but i cant find them now.

I'm just glad someone has finally proved the whole "Eagles are so heavey blah blah blah they are heavier then stock rods".

Sorry. Stock LS rods weigh around 490 grams while Eagle LS weighs 528 grams.

 

Nice scale

Thanks for all the weight info. This is a very informative thread.

 

Yep. Breath on it and it will move 0.1 -0.2 grams.
