Im looking to do internals and iv noticed on the forums that there is alot of factors with rods and size of them and not alot of ppl make the rods

who should i go with since im getting JE pistons and rings

2001 Audi 1.8L T

 

SCAT rods, cheap, powerfull, and will not break up to 500hp+

 

yes i seen someone mention that name but i wasnt for sure..

Is that like the main brand everyone goes for cause im not worried about cheap i just want quality and want to do it right.

Thanks for the info.

 

when I say "cheap" dont get me wrong, scat rods are very good quality. they are just less expensive.

There is a 1.8T w/ a GT3076R on AZ using stock pistons and SCAT rods, and he is doing just fine (that setup should be able to run 320WHP+ on pump gas, which is around 410 crank HP)

There is also Pauter and Eurospec rods, but they are 600-800$ a set, compared to SCAT which is 300$ or so a set... and they around the same quality.

May I ask what you are upgrading too?

 

probably a GT2871R turbo and 440cc injectors.

can you link me to scats website or give me a part number for the rods you are talking about that would be very helpful


thank you
