3305, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Michael_97RS, Jun-13-01 09:03 AM Funny you should post I was just flipping threough your site and saw those. Gary, did Crane ever sort out the cams? Have they aligned ti timing peg correctly? so they are actually a bolt in without having to do any indexing? "To strive to seek to find... and not to yield."

3310, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Fast420A, Jun-14-01 06:41 AM When is AFX coming out with a Race ECU for our cars?!?!?! If it's anything like the specs on the Neon ECU, I as well as many others on this board would buy one right away!! Please can we at least have an est. date of release if the rumors are true that it's being developed? Thanks a lot!

3311, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Stan2gnt, Jun-14-01 07:29 AM $350. You know I may build another short block just for the hell of it. Eagle Rods, Ross pistons, Clevett bearings. This sh*t sounds more like Hemi parts than 420A. Stan2gnt Stan2va@aol.com 95 Talon 420A-Turbo Former and future nitrous user
3312, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by DarkOne, Jun-14-01 08:59 AM So how do the Eagle rods/Ross pistons compare to Crower/JE ? ______________________________________ -Dino Yancey I'm so bad, i should be in detention.

3313, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Skrilla, Jun-14-01 10:13 AM Ross Arias JE are just about all the same. I prefer Arias but the Eagle rods just don't compare to crower. They look and read like they might handle 350HP but I hope I'm wrong because they are dirt cheap and would love to use them on a 500HP engine. The build would be so cheap!

3314, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Erik, Jun-14-01 05:03 PM Looking to rebuild a spare block now and need rods. Gary can you compare these rods to crower? I'm turbo now and will make you sale if they can live up to a great potential! BTW Eagle rods have been used for domestics for a while. They're pretty good stuff but import is a different ball game.
3315, RE: We are now carrying Eagle Rods for the 2GNT engines Posted by Stan2gnt, Jun-15-01 01:47 AM These are 4340 steel (same material as crower), H beam, balanced amd magnafluxed with ARP rod bolts. There are two major differences between Eagle and crower rods. 1) Crower is billet 4340 and Eagle is 4340 forged. 2)Crower is I beam and eagle is H beam. Surely they can handle more than 350hp. Thats like making 350hp 2816 forged pistons, why bother? They may not be "set it and forget it" strength like Crower but prepped stock rods can probably hold 350hp if RPMs are kept down (I for one will increase boost until I get 300hp at the wheels, easy 12s or the stock rods break). Then I will build the engine I was too cheap to do the first time around. Stan2gnt Stan2va@aol.com 95 Talon 420A-Turbo Former and future nitrous user
3316, Thanx Stan... Posted by Skrilla, Jun-15-01 01:58 AM ...I guess I was wrong:)!! That's some good information though. Stan if you really think that it will hold that much power (say 400HP?) than I think I will buy those for a future project.

3317, RE: Thanx Stan... Posted by Thunderous_Talon, Jun-18-01 03:10 AM Crazy question about this, Assuming these could take 400hp, would this be @ wheel hp or flywheel hp? 97' Talon ESi Accel Wires AF/X UDP AF/X Solid front motor mount Apex-i Exhaust Clutch Restrictor Mod Custom CAI w/ Ram Air Custom Short Shifter Front Upper Strut Tower Bar Front Lower Tie Bar Rear Upper Strut Tower Bar Rear Lower Tie Bar Royal Purple 5w-30 Oil "Our time is here, Our time is now, Team 2gnt."

3318, RE: Thanx Stan... Posted by bustrblue1, Jun-18-01 04:51 AM would they be able to handle more than 400hp since the crower's can? i really want a cheap good alternative to crower since there so expensive Matt 95 Eclipse GS my babys stock right now, few months and i should be boostin' with NER!
3319, RE: Thanx Stan...

3320, 99% of the time... Posted by Skrilla, Jun-18-01 03:37 PM ...I'm refering to the wheels like Stan said. BTW 320HP at the wheels is a 400HP engine(crank) Skrilla '97 Base Talon NA "Technology: The Only Replacement for Displacement" "Peace and Turbo Grease"
3321, RE: 99% of the time... Posted by bustrblue1, Jun-18-01 03:42 PM great, so what about the pistons? which would be best besides the JE's and how much hp would they be able to handle and price? thanks a lot Matt 95 Eclipse GS my babys stock right now, few months and i should be boostin' with NER!
