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....

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
