where would be the best and cheapest place to get just one standard rod? I think its just the standard rod as i bought the car with the Norris Design engine in the car. How can i tell if the rods are standard?

Ie got a set of standard rods you can have for £50 if you like.

Standard rods are cast, rough faced. Forged ones are, well, forged metal, smooth faced.

 

[nitrosgti-r]

will cast be ok if im goiun for 350-400 bhp then?

 

[PaulB]

standard rods are good for 400bhp as long as there used with ARP bolts.

Let me know.

I've got PAR rods in mine. Billet rods, they looked beautiful but they needed over £200 of machining to balance and fit. Standard would have done me but at the time they were not known to be as strong as they are.

My OEM rods are fine with ARP bolts at somewhere between 420 - 440 break.

I removed all signs of casting marks and polished them then had them shoot peened.

Steve, where'd you get it done?

I want to use stock items, did you get them checked for straightness too?

I'm using eagles ESP rods, so is Mike (the bear). I think you'll find that most of the big powered cars in australia and new zealand also choose to use eagles. As mentioned before, eagles will take huge power, but dont like seeing honda territory revs

 

[Rishi]

I used Eagle Forged Rods in Deans Engine! They are fantastic Rods. Will take what ever you want to throw at them

I had some Crower Billet ones made for my my own Engine as i will be running a little higher on the revs.. :twisted:
