Chow Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Pauter has confirmed that they do have drawings for the B5234T (139.5mm rod length with a 53mm big end bore and 23mm pin diameter). May want to try referencing this part # if you talk to them: VOL-230-530-1394F. Retail was around $225/rod. $1125 for a set of 5 in 4340 C'moly steel. Be prepared to wait 2-3 months for the rods from Pauter.Also there are always the R Sport International "China" rods that come with ARP 2K rod bolts for $500. Ok, I'm a bit lost who is "Pauter", I'm guess a Vendor/Manufactor??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chow Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I spoke with Eagle and they "said" they do not sell our rods, what is the part number? Those are good cheap rods, I would like to grab some.Pauters are crazy expensive and they only list 4cyl Volvo rods...R-Sport seems to be the solution for most people though. $500 bones for a set of 5.I'm thinking that the China rods are going to be the best deal out there for the power I'm trying to get to. So enless someone can tell me diffrent??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoWill Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have R-sport rods and wiseco and I am planing on running like 500hp. I have compared my friends Eagle rods to my rsports they look pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rods from Sweden are wider and often require clearancing the block. (Not really a big deal)LG has run these rods to 800+hp with no problems.Just so people know, I don't sell rods, I just direct them to a place to buy them in Sweden. The contact info is as follows.. Maybe this will cut down on the number of PMs I get.Website: www.lgspeed.seBest thing to do is email him .. lg@lgspeed.seLast price I was quoted was like $490 for a set of 5 with ARP 2000 bolts. Shipping is ~ $65 and takes a week or less. Tell him I sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
