eagle rods
 

today i called race engineering to look up on their rod piston packages. i said i wanted srp pistons (low compression) and eagle rods. he said that eagle has stopped making the eagle h beams for d16s motor because they started using the 3/8s arp rod bolts in them and that made the bottom part of the rod too big or something. and so what they did was machine the ends (grind) them down which made the fat end of the rod a little skinner therefor making it my susceptable to breaking. any of you guys hear about this. cause i found a good deal on eagle rods and pitons and now race is offering me this rod called "scat" (if thats how you spell it) which is an h beam rod, and the srp piston. never heard of it. my question is is that scat rod any good if im gonna e nd up buying those and is that true what the guy said about the eagle rods for d16s?]
thanks

man i just read that over and i have a spelling problem :-\

Re:eagle rods
 

I have heard equally good things about the scat rods. Ghetto D will be running them really soon. Maybe he can tell you more about them. My eagles came with arp 2000 bolts, but I don't know what that has to do if anything with what your talking about. I'd get the scat's instead of trying to figure it out. ;)

Re:eagle rods
 

i dont knoww what this guy was talking about. i mean i know that the guy at the machine shop was gonna be buying me eagle rods for the project. but that was way expensive. well i got to the end of the week to figure out waht i want

Re:eagle rods
 

"scat" rods? That's just gross... :-X

Re:eagle rods
 

for anyone and everyone whos interested. i found this place... cncmotorsports.com and they have amazing deals on rods and pistons. i found scat rods and srp pistons for 690 bux shipped. and eagle rods and srp pistons for 710 shipped. best price i have seen around.

Re:eagle rods
 

when I get me a block and some money I was planning on using the scat rods. They used to be on eBay for pretty cheap, but now I only see them for b series. :-\

Re:eagle rods

Re:eagle rods

Re:eagle rods
 

its not like I'm trying to give buisnes to ben at www.importparts.com but they have the best prices, plus monthly deals, cnc is the biggest rippoff I ever order ---- from, I even went to the shop once they terrible with prices, no body I know in cali support them.

Re:eagle rods
 

i have 3 older eagle rods with the small rod bolts and 1 new one with the bigger head (for d16)

RODS ARE THE SAME SIZE...except for the bolt head
u dont have to grind anything on the rod but u must still notch the block

Re:eagle rods
 

I'm not sure if your talking about the same cncmotorsports, but if you are, I'd rather buy rods and pistons from bin laden. Stories too crazy to even post. :-\

Re:eagle rods
 

this cnc is in north dakota

Re:eagle rods
 

if you are talking about civics, you don't have to notch anything to use H beam rods, only when using x beam, why would you use x beam anyways. and I the 2 different bolt sizes for eagle H beam rods are: 5/16 arp bolts rated at 600 hp, 3/8 arp bolts rated at 900 hp, I got the 3/8 bolts, at least thats what they advertised.

Re:eagle rods
 

Where is this information coming from? Why would everyone under the sun, including endyne believe that the block needs to be notched? I looked on Eagle's site, but the tech page is under construction. I've just never heard anyone say that.

Re:eagle rods
 

He's talking out his has...he says civic's, like they all come with the same engine...B-series don't need to notch...D-series you have to notch.
He has a B-series, so he doesn't know what we are talking about :P

Re:eagle rods
 

dam right I'm flucking drunk, but that was a mistake, most time I automatically think B series are the only engines around. my bad...

Re:eagle rods
 

I know ;D
I just wanted to be the flamer for once...didn't feel right though.

Re:eagle rods
 

thats cuz u need practice

Re:eagle rods
 

Stories? I think I got my rods from cncmotorsports. :(

Re:eagle rods
 

The one in CA. is what I'm talking about.

Re:eagle rods
 

Cmc motorsports in cali is a big rippoff, I was stationed in cali for almost2 years, car was overheating and no regular caps were blowing off, so I went to cnc and they sold me a mugen radiator cap for $60, went to another shop and it was $25. plus they quote me $4500 for a b16 engine/tranny no mounts no ecu...plus no one recomends, them but a place called hookups, which is not bad, but cnc sucks!everyone laughs when you mention cNc.

Re:eagle rods
 

i thought it was cNc :P

Re:eagle rods
 

it is cncmotorsports...this is the website http://www.cnc-motorsports.com/default.asp check it out

Re:eagle rods
 

Yeah I don't like to flame , but to educate.

Re:eagle rods
 

how many times did I say cmc? ;D ;D, drunk again! I have 4 days before I'm back in Iraq :(

Re:eagle rods
 

Sorry to hear that man...I hope you get back soon after that.
I have a friend over there....his GF misses him a lot...I can only imagine.
He's a cook though at least i hope he's safer in the camp.
He's with the Dutch Marines

Re:eagle rods
 

The most perfect example of a shameless plug. :D haha

Re:eagle rods
 

Pat why are your selling those rods????

Re:eagle rods
 

I just need the cash and the rods have been sitting around for a few months not getting any use. Don't worry I am still going to build my motor. ;)
