Hey guys

Ive been playing around with RB28 and RB30 parts, which started me thinking of the weight differences between different engines/brands.

This is more of a factual thread, especially for people searching in the future.

Ive found a post from Roy thats a good place to start;

Thread revival.... so who makes the lightest 26 rod that is decent enough, will have to handle around 350rwkws

It seems:

- Pauter are 530g

- Spool 548g

- Carrillo 474-507 depending on which rod

- Eagle 495g (I like)

- Argo ? RB30 rods are 643 so seem towards the heavier end of things

So the Eagles seem cheap, reliable and light? Anything i am missing?

Also this one;

rb26 argos are 568 grams each and rated at 250hp per cylinder

I can add that a custom set of Argo's i just got (2500hp rated, yes huge overkill) is 658g per rod

So does anyone out there have stock rod weights for RB26 and RB30?

Surely someones built a 2.8 and kept their balancing numbers, so post them up aswel please :)

If anyone has any more aftermarket rods to add, feel free to post up exactly what you've got, and how heavy it is
