Okay so here it goes

I was wondering what are the best conrods to use in a 1000hp rb26dett. What is the best option. They need to handle 11000rpm and 2 bar of boost and more. Need some sort of idea! ;)

What would be the best of the best rod? and what would be the bare minimum. from what i can gather at the moment eagles are the minimum that i would be comfortable using. i would like to have a little room to play with

jun carillo argo

x2 and for bolts id recommend ARP L-19 items...the best!

i use JUN and will be making in excess of 1000hp...Mark uses Carillo and he makes well in excess of 1000hp...and id also use Argo as they are designed and made not far from where i live (i like to support the local product)

The engine had a set of really good looking (beefy strong) Jun rods. The problem i had is that they are 10 grams difference in weight from the heaviest to the lightest and the machine shop were a little concerned. they also said there are slight marks on them from something. So this is why im enquiring. If i need new rods i know which to buy. should know by tomorrow. Fingers crossed i don't. Would like to save a little bit of money :D Also where would be the best place to purchase a set of carillo or argo rods

saving money and 1000hp dont really go together imo.

Best off trying the US for the rods and I would speak to Carrillo themselves because from memory the have a couple of different Grades of Rod

sounds like what ive just built...

im using Eagle rods :D

I dont see the point in spending over double on pauter or Carillo, ive used eagles that hold 600kw in SR20's and well over 1000hp in 2jz's, B series at over 500kw (highest hp rb ive done is only 800hp also on eagles :-(, granted its an every day street car )... in 99% of cases its usualy the pistons or oiling system that fail before the rods, if you got the money to burn why not, but if your on a budget like most people I see nothing wrong with chasing 1000hp on eagles, spend the extra on the oiling system....

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
