Get GTi-R rods and bearings. The BBird rods (not 100% sure on this) are the same as the DE rods.

bluebird rods are not the same as de rods. they are more beefier, because i have both sets. not sure about the difference in bluebird and gtir, but bluebird rods are definately stronger than de rods...

gti-r is the biggest and strongest rod out of the three.

I have them both pistons and rods (from gti-r and a u12 ) the pistons are diff but the rods "looks" exactly the same(exception for the bearings 17u12 vs 19 mmgti-r)... I will post pics later

the gtir is slightly stronger than the BB. the wider bearings are a bonus to have. also the gtir rod has a much better smallend bushing with an oil track for the pin to keep it lubed.

guess nobody notices that but me?
