What Conrods?

[two_evil]

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!

im using Eagle rods

what bolts on the rods you using?

[two_evil]

What are the hp per rod for eagle rods? Are you using ARP bolts?

[Bumblebee]

im not using bolts

im using ARP stud kits.. head and main

Eagle doesnt have a HP rating per rod, but ive noticed most builders claim they easily handle 200hp per rod

so thats alrite

[Bumblebee]

my bad.. ARP2000 rod bolts.. the rest is studs

[shanef]

id be looking at a set of Argo's as a minium

[Adriano]

Yes, i certainly wouldn't rely on a set of eagles for 1000hp

[Bumblebee]

Im using them... no problems... yet.. and the builder backs it up for 550awkw

warranty included

[GTR1993]

Who is your builder? You have warranty on a 1000 hp motor? Where do i sign! Never heard of warranty on a race motor before.

Just call up chasers n ask for their engine builder

warranty so long as u use what they tell u to use.. hence y my engine is filled with hks and nismo goodies

[two_evil]

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

I have P.A.R rods in mine billet 4340 rods with ARP rod bolts in 7-16 size no idea what they will take but billet are min for those revs power.

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 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

I don't 1000hp and saving money go hand in hand either but there is no point throwing out good rods if there is nuthin wrong with them

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....
