I in middle of building my 1.6VE to 2.0

currently not sure whether i should change my rod as well since
the car going to reved at 9k rpm maybe higher if possible

i have the 2.0 ve Rod as well GTiR rod

not sure whether i should get aftermarket rod like eagle to replace it ?

Thank you

ARP rod bolt is in my list as well

don't run arp rod bolts with stock rods

either run the gtir rods or get aftermarket ones.

everyone will argue over brand so i say get carrillo a beams with their standard bolts and call it a day...of course eagle are 1/2 the cost

THESE

Lightweight for N/A applications for improved throttle response and are exceptional quality. Also come with the ARP rods bolts

Ditto with the Par gear!!

PAR is way expensive

this is not a Competition Race motor
i more to street and weekly track use

I consider to use GTiR Rod as well but will it be too heavy for NA application ?

consider Eagle due to low cost as well

go eagle

GTIR rods are fine for an NA motor. If you get eagles be sure to get the strongst bolts recommended by eagle

mostly eagle rod i saw come with ARP rod
will this eagle better than GTiR in term of durability ?

Thank you
