I found a good group buy for Eagle rods and I have seen some turbo teg's using them. Would you guys rather have Eagle Rods or Crower Rods and why? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm personally going to get Eagle rods for my engine. I've heard nothing but good things about them when used in Honda/Acura applications. For what I'm going to be boosting (~18 psi max) Eagle Rods are more then adequate.

 

Are they strong compared to Crower rods?

We are running them on my buddy's B18C1 and they are holding everything we are throwing at them!

 

To be honest with most people the eagle rods are great for street/strip upgrades. But if you going ot build a full drag car i would not waste the money on a set of eagle rods. I have not seen 1 person run 30psi plus using eagle rods consistently. Most everyone either use the Crower,Pauter X bean , Carillo rods in all race applications Even IMPO uses there own rods which are bad ***.

 

Thats a prety good deal it seems...$349 for a set plus $10 shipping. Not bad.

 

Yep, that is what I thought. A lot cheaper than Crower as well.

 

Again guys, you most certainly pay for what U get or U get what U paid for. Cheap is good, there is nothing wrong wanting something cheap, but, when cheap comes at the expense of strength, U can see where the problem arises. U will have to spend more than twice when the rods dont hold up as expected. U will have to pay for the engine work twice where as if U had the job done right the first time around, the problem would not have existed. Crowers have withstood the test of time and come out shining. Remember the extra insurance is always good. U might not run 28-30lbs of boos like the full race cars but the extra is good especially in the event of detonation.

 

But whats to say that just because the Eagle are "cheap"...they arent strong?

 

Bah, for $349 you can't go wrong. People choose Crower over Eagle for the name. I'd love to see a side by side comparison of the rods until they break.

An another note, I'm in for that group buy. Killer price.

 

Hey, you guys when you order them tell you that I told you about it. Maybe that will help me out a little. Thanks, I think I am going to order them. My name on group buy center is the same, 00 Si Thanks.

 

I have crowers for my GSR and I just bought eagles for the LS I am building

You have to have your priorities straight

Why not Crowers for you LS?

 

TTT

 

Because I know how much crowers cost. I own a set.

Has anyone really had any problem at all with the eagle's? As far as I can remember I have never heard of someone braking or bending a set of eagles. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were just as strong or stronger than crower. So for me the $300 extra for the crowers doesn't seem worth it, so I plan on buying to Eagle's.

 

So Dustin what would you recommend for boosting a teg? On boosted apps would you recommend eagles or crowers.

I'm thinking about getting some Eagle rods myself even though I dont plan on building up my motor until the spring. Looks like a good deal.
