rob wild Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Before i order the rods and wiseco's any more opinions on this? Rob, Have you had yours yet? I have my Wiseco pistons and I must say the quality looks excellent. They have been checked by my engineering workshop are perfect as far as weight (+/- 0.1g) etc I'm very impressed. However on the rods I'm still a bit undecided! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Any chance you can stick up some pics and the actual weights With pleasure They are currently with the machine shop as he is using them to do the boring. I believe they were all 351g and that was 87mm. As soon as i get them back i'll pop up a post about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have my Wiseco pistons and I must say the quality looks excellent. They have been checked by my engineering workshop are perfect as far as weight (+/- 0.1g) etc I'm very impressed. However on the rods I'm still a bit undecided! Dug the Eagle rods out of the garage tonight (sorry Rob i've been working nights for the last 2 weeks) and they are definately not the same as the Scat ones you have pictured with a stock rod, i would have taken a pic for you but i appear to have mislaid the digital camera , as per Wez's post they weigh in about 590 grams which is as accurate as i can get with the wifes kitchen scales , with regards to what you go with i would say the Eagle rods at least have some proven track record wheares the Scat ones i can find very little on, they do appear quite a bit lighter than the Eagle and Carrilo rods which come in at about the same, so i think its a pretty safe bet the Eagles are definately based on the Carrilo rod, this would concern me a bit with the "budget" end of the scale that Scat have gone off and done their own thing whereas Eagle played safe and copied Carrilo, if you want to "borrow" the Eagle rods and get your engine man to give them the once over you are more than welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 hi guys i'm also use scat rod and i making 800+whp and 9000rpm with no problem 9000rpm wow what pistons are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartW Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have been advised by the supplier that for 900hp i will need wiseco pistons with an oversize gudgeon pin! Twice the price!!? Why is nothing ever clear cut BUT i would rather be pre-informed than learn the hard way.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 If you go for a bigger pin you need custom rods to match. 900 HP is a huge amount of power, and will need a steel crank, IMO. Only the very best internals will do, and for drag racing I'd order a crank with more than the stock number of flywheel bolts, and dowelled as well, if there's room on the flange. That means a custom flywheel.... But that means you can run a really suitable clutch if it's a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been proven to run 1200bhp+ countless times without failure even for road use too. I know i could spend £10,000+ on just the short motor alone but that is out of my league for the first year....Unless we have a new sponsor "Sponsored by Chris Wilson" He he..

Chris Wilson Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 OK, I'll shut up, if people REALLY want to believe Toyota made a production crank that'll reliably handle a genuine 1000 BHP that's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
