Do Sr20 Arp Rod Bolts Fit Rb30E Rods?

[bubba]

Had the thought yesterday to use the ARP rod bolts I have for my spool rods on the stock rods in the stocker bottom end about to go in, unfortunately they don't fit stock rods

So, for the sake of $150 or so, I figured it would be a worthwhile investment for my standard bottom end.

So I guess there are two questions I have:

Will a set of decent rod bolts help a stock RB30E bottom end live a longer life when boosted?

Are the SR20 (202-6005) rod bolts the ones to use for RB30 rods?

Edit: I did search, and apparently they do "fit" but there were differeing opinions on how well they fit and whether they were a good idea or not.

Yes rod bolts a must (don't know about SR20).

Just spoke to my mechanic and he reminded me that the stock rods have studs and swapping over to bolts isn't really an easy excercise without pulling the rods out.

yer swapping around would be a bit of a pain if its already assembled, main reason i didnt do it.

pretty sure sr20 arp bolts suit rb30 aswell

While they do fit they are a bit short apparently but still work anyway. The vg30 arp rod bolts as well but require a bit of the top ground off as they are a tad to long.

While we are on the topic anyone got half a packet of sr20 bolts they want to sell :-)

Yes they do fit and I have half a set left over if any 1 wants to make an offer for. There is about 2 - 2 1/2 threads left over after the nut has been done up.
