Posted this at NASIOC but wanted to share it here as well for those looking for rod questions. Hopefully this helps with selecting the right rod for your application. I will probably just purchase STi rods for my build because I'm not going with MAJOR power upgrades.
i think you should take my alternator to the shop....since you seem kinda bored..... hahah well...im goign with ej22t.....
Eagles are cheap and work well. Why not if you're already in there? I'm sure you saw NICO's EJ22T pretty much explode on the BBS. He was running a decent sized snail and his practices are questionable though...
ya, his EJ22T rods went. Hopefully mine'll hold until I get the other 22T built. The current shortblock I just put in new rod/main bearings. This EVO3-16G is pushing the limit though somewhat.... lolz
Tuning have a lot to do with how much power your rods can take. This makes me question his tune. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EAGL...024QQitemZ370005239864QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EAGL...008QQitemZ180185673754QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
