Posted 01/03/07 09:21 AM Share Posted 01/03/07 09:21 AM There is a thread on AFF about these rods. From that thread it seems as though there aren't really many XR6T owners who know about these rods... mostly used in RB30 VL Turbo's.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did comment that 2 engines will be using them after their rebuilds are complete which should be within the month.I might weight this one out for results..If all goes well I might try to organise a group buy for these on this site Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of argo rods on a group buy for $1177 all up including freight .the feedback and what I had heard about them I thought it was well worth the extra. it was a min buy of 8 sets and it was ment to be done by 1/3/07 but if you give them a call im sure they wont mind selling another set. their number is(02)4934-7099 just mention the group buy from this site.mine came the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be giving it a tune this weekend, because I only have the stock pistons im going for around 400rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWSEY Member 441 Member For: 19y 15d Gender: Male Posted 19/08/07 09:26 AM Share Posted 19/08/07 09:26 AM I have seen these rods used on 2 cars and there are no problems, the big thing when using them is matching the pistons to suit if that makes sense.if you are chasing 350rwklw-470rwklw(manaul) then these rods will be good.at the same time do not race into it as there are some good rods with very good results for about the same price.
