Can anyone help? I have a company here that can make them custom, and I have only found a few companies that make h-beams for them, but I wanted to see if anyone has a set they might like to suggest. Thanks!

Depends on the power target. For over 750 bhp we use Argo (www.argorace.com.au) for up to 750 bhp we use Spool (www.spoolimports.com). Being in the US, you really should have talk to Carrillo (www.carrillorods.com).

cheers

Check out spool imports as others have said

They have them on special from 1250 down to 1050, what a bargain!

Just wondering, why this way around. could the Spool rods take more? or is this just a safe figure?

thanks

you bloody yanks do a good job,look at getting a set of carrillos(i have a brand new set in the box for sale) to suit rb30,$2500.

I found a pretty good site that explains the different rods

ie;

cast steel

stock forged steel

aftermarket forged steel

true billet steel

ect ect

The site can be found here.

I thought it was pretty interesting.

I use Pauter rods and have absolutely no complaints. Light, tight manufacturing tolerences and will custom make at no extra charge.

see:

Hi Dalals, with engine componets I only recommend what I have actually done in real life. I am not going to say "should", or "might", "look good for" etc when it comes to engine components. I have seen an engine with Carrillos make 1100 bhp, and run 1/4's several times. I have actually used the Argo I Beam rods up to 950 bhp so I know that they are good for at least that much. I have only used the Spool H Beam rods up to 750 bhp, so I know they are good to that level. They may well handle more, when we have built an engine with them that makes more, then I will say that they handle more.

When you think about it, 750 bhp is close to 500 rwkw, rods that will do that for the price tha tSpool charges are very good value for my money.

cheers

just a sort of related question..

Spool and Par .. do they have shop fronts in the sydney area?

[SirRacer]

while we're talking high power rb30 , anyone got part numbers for rb30/31 for pistons with a reasonable compression ratio?

[[200]]

CP's are around 8.1:1

Part numbers;

CP-RB30-020 - 20' oversize

CP-RB30-040 - 40' oversize

Shop fronts = big margins (to pay the rent) = retail prices

ahh ok thanks Gary

will contact them directly

How trustworthy would a set of custom billet (unforged) titanium rods, based on the rb30 rods plus some beefing up? I have access to some pretty good CNC machines at work and am very tempeted. What about titanium pistons and valves, retainers (oohh I am getting excited again)
