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!

How much power do you want to make ? the standards go way over 300rwkw

I am sure you can track down eagle rods in america. Also www.hioctane.com.au or something like that they are guys based in Sydney they sell various brands, talk to Ian if you ring them.

Can anyone list some links to some sites for RB30 performance rods? Thanks.

RB in USA

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 :wave:

Also your in america I would be talking to some of the other obscure rod manufacturers like the indy car guys etc. depends on budget? guys that come to mind are oliver, manley, BME!!??

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

thanks

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.

:D cheers :D

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)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
