do custom rods for $US1,100 per set of 6.

These look the part and I have a set going into my RB26 shortly.

An RB30 SOHC head in a R32/R33 Skyline?!??

Would be more trouble than its worth. -30rwkw from the SOHC head.

Thats roughly what the VL blokes think. The twin cam heads gives another 30rwkw approx. Wider power band, better fuel economy and more power everywhere.

The chev eagle rod is a small journal chev rod 2 inch big end bore and a 6 inch length the small end needs to be modded...the part number is CRS6000S3D if using an RB26 piston you need something like a CRS6125S3D which really should be a tad shorter....maybe you can use an offset small end bush to get it in the right spot....make sure your measuring tools are spot on for this type of stuff tho!

troy thanx for that bit of info

[N I B]

The big end needs to be modifyed to fit the big end and also cut down across the out side edges as the rod wont fit thru the cylinder bores.

rocket doesnt seem to have them on their list

any ideas on where i can get them guys?

cheers

The big end and small end require modifications, both need to be thinned as they are too wide for the crank journal and the gudgeon pin. They also need to be rebushed to suit and use a 40thou over chev bearing ( which also needs to be thinned ) . The RB30 crank in std journal size then requires a 7 thou grind to make it suit.

The rods then require resizing.

[ylwgtr2]

you have to get them from usa or eagle spares in dandenong

[ylwgtr2]

ok rocket part number for scat rods is sc235060002000.... just tell them you want the same rod but in eagle brand...they might be able to help you then....good luck

Just verify the size/application before you order them

Most Chev 6 inch small journal rods will work, Eagles are just one of the better priced. Scats are cheaper but I wouldnt recommend them.

sounds like a lot of stuffing around.which ones are a direct fit?

[KamikazeR33]

Sounds like a lot of money to spend on a road car . I'd have thought the std rods with good bolts and a bit of prep work should be able to take more power than most will have traction for , plus the price is good . I'll ask today if its possible to gas Nitride steel rods . Has anyone use oversized bolts in factory rods ?

SK , when these rods let go which part throws in the towel ?

Cheers A .
