Guys - have a look at this - it covers all the info you need to know.

They are not Eagle rods, they are not Scat rods - see the pics in the link. Competition Tuning here is Bris have an FJ20 making near 600rwhp with SPOOL rods now - thats near 200bhp per rod.

i have an adjustable cam gear to suit rb25 which is " spool " brand, it seems to have the same quality in looks as the other top brands but i have never fitted it and am getting rid of it because i wasnt sure of the quality...

Dont be afraid of them, I use them and they are fine. just replace the washers under the locking screws for slightly larger ones for a more definite lock and you will have no probs.

The Spool stuff is nice and hard to beat for value, i was also under the impression they were scat items originally but have since been informed by my buyer that they may be coming from the same company we source from as he has one other aus account. This same factory supplys some name brand gear into japan and the USA inc V8 SR and GTR stroker cranks. Rest assured the gear is spot on. I have a few sr and RB cranks on the way for testing.

im sure spool will inform me if im way off.

I would not risk using them they seem to cheap,and very poor quality :D

Your statement appears to be the same. Perhaps you should back up what you say with some solid facts before making yourself look stupid....which you have already done. Alot of people are useing them with no problems.

Weve been using spool rods in our race car over the last few years. If i can get a dyno printout from Mercury...I can show that we made over 620hp+ at the rears whilst wheelspinning...ofcourse the motor had spool rods in it! Thats about 700-800bhp @ the crank if an accurate hp reading could have been obtained.

Whose else has big hp figures with them?

Spoolup, These are the rods the engine builder used in my car.. know anything about them? they seem fine and they wont be making more then 650 - 700 bhp ever..

Forged Conrods are a must for a bullet proof rebuild on your turbocharged engine. This allows the stress to be taken off the bottom end under high rpm and high boost. Of course forged pistons are not essential, but are highly recomended.

Precision Motorsport rods are manufactured from certified 4340 steel, vacuum degassed to remove impurities, and multistage heat treated. Each forging is X-rayed, and shot peened to relieve stress, and all surfaces are 100% machined.

H-Beam Connecting Rods Feature:

NEW 4340 Certified Forged Steel Rod

ARP 5/16 2000 capscrew bolts standard

Silcone Bronze bushings for floating pins

Precision alignment sleeves positively locate the rod cap, eliminating cap walk

Packaged in weight matched sets end to end +/- 1 gram

Rated for upto 750 horsepower (Same as the limit of the factory RB30 Crankshaft)

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
