Hey Guys,

I am a huge fan of Eagle products, and am glad to see they have released a set for the RB26DETT Motorset. If this is old news to some of you, then disregard this post.

I noticed a press release on their website, so I assume these are brand new or have only been released for a short time.

Part #CRS4783N3D 4.783" stock dimension fitment for Nissan RB26, 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts $600.00/set

Even better, they only retail for $600/set so you should be able to find some great deals on pricing through their dealers.

This price includes ARP Rod Bolts, so the pricing is fantastic.

Here's the link to their website, I hope you guys send them some business, as there very nice folks with a high quality product.

Haha, guess I'm definitely behind...and I guess it's time they update their website...

I'm going with these rods and CP Pistons, but am still trying to decide between the 86.5 and 87 bore setup.

Any suggestions?

What's the quality like on eagle rods? I've heard really really mixed reactions. One person said they are completely shit and to avoid them like the plague, other's said they are good. A set have been made available to me for a decent price, I'm not sure whether or not to use the standard RB26 rods, have them shot peined, cryo treated and linished/balanced, or to get the eagle rods and just make sure they are all balanced.

Anyone?

The quality is quite good, and they are highly respected in the US Domestic Cars Market.

I think many of the imports guys like to knock it, because it's not JDM Yo!

If you follow what I'm saying....

For the price, it can't be beat...

i think youll find in aus down here hardly anyone actually uses jdm pistons or rods. Theres enough australian/american stuff here thats plenty good enough and readily available.

The price is what worries me, as you pay for what you get...

Eagle is a US Domestic Parts based company, that focuses mostly on the Chevy/Ford Market....

They, unlike the others, aren't going to mark up the Japanese Car Parts prices and probably have little to no idea, on their competitors pricing.

I can assure you this piece is not even on their radar, in regards to their top selling pieces.

Like I said, they are well respected in the domestic market (I'm a previous 03 Mustang Cobra, and two Z06 Corvettes), and I have no fear of running them on my car.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
