they r 4340 steel and come wit ARP rod bolts

the will handle bout 1000hp if tuned correctly

ill find out if they can fit n rb25

id say no as it has a shorter stroke than the rb30 but if the 5.7" can fit then i can get them aswell

but ill find out for certain

not sure if they r lighter than stocks bu they can handle roughly 850-1000hp when tuned correctly

cheers

they wont fit anything except rb30's and if they are still chev ones they still require extensive mods to fit a rb30. Oh and they are heavier than stock rods, check my posts in the the r33 rb30det conversion thread just use my name and eagle rods in a search of the thread!!!

Hey Troy,

can you please tell me what exactly needs to be machined to make them fit in an RB30 bottom end? I am doing and RB30 conversion for my R33 and was initially going to settle with preparing my standard rods. However, if I can get H beam rods with ARP bolts for similar money...

Thanks in advance,

Adrian

yes the 6" will only fit rb30

lik i hav stated, some machinig is needed

not much $ needs to b spent tho

and as i said, order pistons to suit, will save in machin cost

hey mate

will u b ordering pistons aswell?

if u r then i would suggest CP pistons as they are damn good quality n damn good price

if u dont order pistons to suit the pin size of the rod which is 0.927" then u will hav to get it bushed so that it fits the pistons

u will also need to get the sides of the rods linished so that they fit down the bore, id advise to bore the block 20thou so the rods dont need much linishing

then u will hav to get the rods fitted to the crank which involves a little bit of machining

if u order your pistons to suit then u will b lookin at bout $200 i hav been told to get the rods fitted to the crank

if u want a set then ill do them a bit cheaper

cheers

Troy

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
