Depends when you say 'big' these like many others are a good value rods sourced from either china or taiwan same as eagle and scat (been to the factory) i have used similar rods in crazy SR's and CA's with no issues when the budget did not permit for better items.

They are no Carrillo or pauter... but not everyone needs that type of quality, look at you budget and the quality of the other components going in. No point buying chaep rods if the pistons are worth a million bucks and vice versa... no point buying killer rods if the pistons are cheap etc.

They're excellent quality for the money I'd say and they come with ARP2000 bolts. I have a set sitting here ready to use and they look the goods. With the power some workshops are creating on standard rods, these should be capable of some serious horsepower.

Under a thousand bucks for a set with bolts is great value.

have anyone heard of spool conrods ?

any experience with them ?

Hi

What price have you been quoted for Spool rods?

When I was building my forged RB30 bottom end I was also looking at sing with SPOOL rods, but I heard bad things, and a good friend recommended EAGLE H BEAM rods, I think thats the brand(been up since 5am, correct me if I'm wrong lol).

There is a guy on calaiturbo, username STONE_RACING, he builds a lot of forged RB30 bottom ends and can get EAGLE H BEAM rods for pretty cheap or at a good price. If you want send me PM if your keen or 100% definate on getting a set of forged rods, and I'l try hook you up with a good price, and a good set.

Apparently from what I've read, this is from back earlier this year, people say you cant go wrong with EAGLE H BEAM rods, for the price and quallity.

They also come with ARP2000 rod bolts.

Just my opinion, and what I heard at the time of building my forged bottom end.. :)

Thanks,

Abu

Let me just say that it would be silly to say that an Eagle rod is significantly better (or even different) to a Spool rod. I've heard nothing but glowing reports about them and I'm more than confident using them in my new motor. They sell for $890 a set on www.spoolimports.com website and come with bolts.

Yeah i think SCAT, ART and spool are around the same price all stocked locally

ART from racespec 0401 313163. Ive spun the ART rods to dizzy heights in some CA's.

SPOOL from spool

SCAT from rocket, autobarn etc..

ive just recently started a rb26/30 project aswell, and from wot i have researched and heard from a few ppl and websites, spool rods are more then enuf, as stock rods themselves will hold roughly around 500hp, unless ur aiming for huge HP then spool is more then enuf

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
