Crower rods???

[r33GTS-t-200kw]

Hi all

I had my order stuffed up by the place I was getting pistons and rods from and I got rb26 Crower rods instead of the eagle rods I ordered... 1500 for eagle

Anyways.. what I was wondering is that alot of people use rb26 GTR rods so I was wondering if the rods I have will be useable cause I dont wanna go to eagle if I got the crowers if you know what I mean

Thanks in advance

Should be fine since rb25 and rb26 rods share the same bearing sizes and lengths. Crower rods are ~2100AUD, you are a lucky man. Also, here in the states, eagle rods are considered to be weak. $1500AUD is quite expensive for those. I remember paying $500US for vg30 eagle rods.

[r33GTS-t-200kw]

Thats sweet. Hehe thats a win for me. I thought the eagle rods may have been weak but I guess you get what you pay for.. so hows that.. 1500 for a full set of crowers

[R32-GTS]

The crowers will own the eagles.

[Dragster33]

I agree, the Crower are rated more hp per rod then the likes of Eagle and we've already seen REV rods bend so I guess they slot in beneath the Eagles

[R32-GTS]

The rev rods are probably the cheapest forged rod though. I used these Pauters

[Dragster33]

They look good, is it true the REV rods are china copies?

[R32-GTS]

I've heard that before but not sure.

What HP rating are the crowers does anybody know? I am thinking of getting some for my own GTR.

I heard there very strong and are not far behind carillo for durability. Is this true?

R32-GTS What where the pauter's worth and what are there HP rating.

[R32-GTS]

King they cost about 1800 a set maybe less now and are rated at 250hp per rod.

[KING33]

Ah k what's the turn around time on them and where do you get them from in Aus.

[R32-GTS]

www.pauter.com There in the USA but will send them to you. Give Brian Pauter a call. Turn around time for mine was about 2 weeks but they may be on the shelf now.

[KING33]

Thank's for that will send off an enquiry now.

My Pauter rods survived a serious engine failure that destroyed new Arias pistons and cracked the block. They're strong alright.

[KING33]

How much did you pay Gav.

[Gav]

About the same as R32-GTS. Should be able to land them cheaper now as there is no import duty applicable now (I believe??), just GST.

Have a look at the titanium rods on the website - some serious and light hardware there!

[R32-GTS]

The titanium pauters are 1100 AUS per rod last time i checked but handle something stoopid like 400hp a rod apparently and are very very light.

[KING33]

Ok got a reply from Pauter here's what it sez.

Jeff,

A set of 6 for your RB26 would run US$1131.00 plus shipping. At current exchange rate, that comes out to AU$1458.14 but your credit card company may have a different rate. I am showing that we have some in stock at this time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not a bad price at all i thought.

How long do they take to get here if they have them in stock ready and waiting.

[KING33]

Also any of you guy's know how much heavier they are compared to a stock RB26 rod.

[Gav]

Mine are out of the engine atm - can ask my builder what the weight difference is if you like
