I believe Chris has a larger turbo than you Brian if I can remember right. You have a gt35 right?

Brian has a GT35 exhaust wheel. He pretty much has a non ball-bearing version of the GT35R. |

Eagle rods are a gamble on the big end. Measure to make sure.
The standard part number for the Wisecos doesn't fit the 1G Eagle rods. I had to send back the Wisecos for a different set with the larger pin bore to fit the Eagles. I don't know if I'll be buying the Eagles this next time.

Out of the 10 or so motors for this year so far I have used Eagles on, not one of them have been off on either end when used with the Wiseco's. We had to have the small end pin fit to work with the Ross pistons on one motor, but that was actually expected. Every other one has been perfect.

Did you accidentally buy the rods for a 2g? The pin is bigger by 1MM.

Just out of curiosity - what is the Max Hp that people are making with the Eagle/Wiseco combo? Has anyone pushed them to there limits?

Firgure the E/W combo should be good for 600-650. Maybe more? Since it's been proven 1G rods can hold 500.

I dont think a eagle rod has been broken in a dsm, but anything is possable. It seems to be just buy the crower or pauter rods becasue they cost more, but I think all 3 have the same tensle strength.

I have also been seeing excellent reviews of the Scat rods.

Seeing some of the posts in a thread like this is why I was wondering about the Eagles.

this is an interesting thread!
what about thoes aluminum Groden rods? i remember buscher saying they aren't any better than any other rod and they are so big that they are almost impossible to fit inside a stroker.
anyone?

aluminum is a stong rod material, but they usually have to be larger than normal rods to be the same strength as steal counterparts. Buschur is correct, they won't fit in the strokers and the 2.4's I believe and are very tight in the 2.0's.
If anyone wants to check out an aluminum rod, I have one out of a nitro funny car in my tool box  .

I don't believe the Grodin rods require block clearnancing to fit in a 2.0. I do think they would be better suited to a 2.14 due to the weight and the larger bores, less stroke and better rod ratio. The biggest problem with aluminum rods is that they fail due to the inertial loads on them. The compressive and tensile loads are enough that they have a relatively short effective life span before they should be replaced. Titanium is better as is 4130 because they do not fatigue in the same way that the aluminum rods do. Aluminum is not a good solution for a street car unless you don't mind swapping your rods every season.

Rau doesn't run Eagles rods. |
