hey guys, i have a 97 ITR that i am having bored to 82mm and i was looking at some arias 11.5 compression pistons to go in there. what rod do you guys recommend for a setup like this??
thank, andy

 

I say for the money Eagle is hard to beat, I have these also im my R with 81.50 mm JE's and they work great for me

 

I also have some in stock if you need any

 

what do they run price wise?

 

329.99 i can do 330 shipped

 

I like OEM. Stock rods can handle any amount of NA power you can throw at it. But if you must, I'd go with GE or Crower.

 

For the price Eagle already come with ARP rod bolts and they are lighter than a stock rod!!!!!!

 

well what is your budget?

you have lots of choices,
crower, manley, eagle, scat, oem with upgraded arp bolts

each company has a couple choices as well

 

i dont really have a budget in mind, granted im not rich. i want a good rod combo so i can run a full floating piston setup. can OEM type r rods be converted to a floating setup?

 

Try looking at Scat or Peak connecting rods...That have a bigger rod bolt compared to eagle rods.

you sure?

im pretty sure scat and eagle both now have arp 2000's

but i think some companies that resell scats offer even bigger rod bolts, but it gets really pricey.

the manleys are really nice.
high grade 4340 alloy
cnc'd in house (@ manley unlike many others)
arp 2k's
magnafluxed and shot peened

i would put some time into learning about all the rods and what makes a good rod. you will find some companies are pretty similar.

 

rocket motorsports about 385 a set and great quality. finished to roberts specs at his place.

 

well last i just put together a motor for a customer...The eagle rods had the ARP 2000 bolts but the bolts were 5/16" bolt with 3/8' head...The Scat/Peak rods had a 3/8" bolt with a 7/16" head bolt.
