What Conrods?

[GTRNUR]

Using eagle rods and upgrading to SPS-CARR bolts is worth a look too. They are easily twice as good as a ARP2000 bolt. Probably about $70-80/bolt though.

HOLY CRAP 1000HP RB26dett..........

How much it cost to build. I wanted a 23-30 hybrid and was promised only 550rwhp. And it was going to cost me $16K.

Did it cost you a mortgage on the house to get that power, as I have been led to believe?

[shaun_perry]

RB25-30 I mean..... My bad.

[two_evil]

1000hp flywheel. Car made 550rwhp when it came from japan. Im wanting 750rwhp and for it to be really strong.

Carillo

No body in the uk seem to trust eagle rods for high hp cars.

i would start At Pauter and work your way up from there.

Not directly on point but when I asked Mark at Mazuroski at Mazworx in the US about whether to use Eagle rods or Manley Turbo Tuff rods in my SR his email response was:

"Anything over 400hp we like to use the Manley's".

My take is that cheaper aftermarket rods will hold a decent hp.....the question tho' is for how long.

honestly, if you can afford to build and maintain a genuine 1000hp RB engine, you can afford carrillo's.

This is truth, when you compare price say, 700 to 1700, in the great scheme its nothing. Not to mention if it puts a hole in the side of your shiny new N1 block.

carillo 1st argo 2nd par 3rd just my 2c

[GTRNUR]

Is there a recipe for a 1000hp gtr engine thats reliable these days? Or is each engine still a an engine that is developed over time, possibly blown up a couple of times till the tune is just right?

Any variation in fuel quality could cause a blow up so such engines would have to be being run on race only fuels, so that 1000hp figure would be an off the street, on the dyno/track figure right?

[PM-R33]

Yeah im curious about this question aswell, this power is going to be chased with race fuel obviously, correct?

You want the ultimate? Titanium baby

[two_evil]

the 1000hp mark would be with race fuel, still 750rwhp would be good 4 street use or maybe highway

Also has anyone here use crower rods before and how do rate?

If you want to do it right you will buy carrillo's unlimited rods with carr bolts.

[den001]

i would only use as stated before, carillo, jun, argo and pauter...

eagles in a 1000hp motor, no way id be using 500 dollar rods....

they are made in china aswell, there is a reason they are cheap......

[Zensoku]

+1 for Carillo's. wouldn't consider anything else for a 1000hp engine. However for street engines up to 800hp Eagles are fine. (even if they are chinese rods)

[SimonR32]

i went with argo rods, they are very very solid and well designed... have seen them runnning nearly 900rwhp so they are a good thing

i think pauter are great rods but are probably a little of the skinny/light side for 1000hp

as others have stated carillo have a very good name
