I am looking to get a set of crower or eagle rods to go along with my diamond pistons. Does anyone know where i can find em online, because ive searched and cant find any for the 2.0 just the 2.2.

 

Crower or Eagle do not have "on the shelf rods" they would have to be custom made. The stock rods are really strong... Pistons are the weak link.

 

How strong are we talking tho i should have mentioned that I am doing a big build, with lots of boost.

 

there good upwards of 500 hp. i think correct me if im wrong. the crank good for 600, if you cyro it closer to 750-800.

hows the build coming?

 

going alright have it all down to bare block, just gotta send the rods out to get cryo treated and itll be coming back together, and order the hahn intake mani.

 

Did you blow it up? or just doing this stuff before you do?

 

just building the motor so we can make some high hp numbers with my turbo setup that was already installed on 18psi making 320 whp on a safe tune. Now I am doing all that follows:

-diamond racing pistons 9.5:1
-Total Seal piston rings
-cryo treating the rods
-nuetral balance shaft
-cometic head gasket
-ARP headstuds
-Port n Poished head with 3 angle valve job
-Ferrera springs retainers n seats
-custom ground HKS 272 cams
-Front Mount Intercooler
-Hahn intake manifold
-two-step launch control and no-lift shift
-gredy profec b electronic boost controller

Soon after i get the car running:
-Cryo treating the tranny gears
-stage 2 axles
-full slicks

 

No more than 450 on the forged stuff. Some people have destroyed their engines, they should know better. Pistons have to go before rods and crank. There is no aftermarket crank besides the billet jbp one which is insane.
