Hey guys, Is this a good price for spool rods? there $550 aud

http://www.spoolimports.com/content/SPOOL3RZCONRODS.asp

Or theirs Chrome Moly rods by Pauter recommended for the street for $799

Asked about pistons aswell and the guys said they have to be custom made for the 3rz which will cost $990 and take 6 weeks to make..

Most guys have low compression pistons for the 3rz but they dont say what brand. Do you guys know of a company that make them?


I found this crank

but i dont think its forged like this one

http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGe...6-F2904797B5BB

Is that the only difference?

[brett_celicacoupe]

berad and i bought pauter rods, arias pistons and cometic HGs from LCengineering (or paradiseracing?) a couple years back.

check the US places i mentioned, they may be cheaper

[synergyandy]

Do the pistons you use change the compression?

Have you installed them brett?

Found this on lc

3RZ Piston/Rod Set - Forged Piston/Chromoly H-Beam Rod (95-05) for my 02 hilux 4x4

http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGe...7-15C702BEFE2C

i think that exactly what i need. Come to $1,105.11 AUD

Read the toyota stock crank is strong enough.

Just ordered a 2mm head gasket and arp headstuds, will i need a new timing chain?

synergy if your keen ill send another email off to paradise racing, i priced the arais/pauter pistions and rods with mls headgasket and arp head studs and it was 1600 us shipped to mackay queensland. Maybe the will do a better deal for 2 if your keen it wont hurt to ask.

[synergyandy]

yeah go for it see what they say.

Did you look at the kit from lc? you not interested in that one?

Have you got a fuel pump yet? We need 6 other people on another forum to get the walbro 550hp fuel pump for $130 if you interested aswell...

[hlx4b]

yeah mate count me in on the fuel pump.......mate i have looked into the lc engineering stuff aparently they aren't the best to deal with in regards to overseas orders but mainly i personally havent seen any feedback on there stuff where as a few people on this site have the pauter/arais stuff and all are very happy with it plus i think they are a bigger brand name i think the lc stuff is all made for them. Will ask the question about 2 orders.

[Tweak]

LC gear is made in house
Pretty sure thats the same kit my engine builder orded........and a few other goodies

[synergyandy]

which one tweak, the pauter rods and arais pistons or just the kit from LC?

[Tweak]

kit from lc

[synergyandy]

yeah its simple cos its a complete set



tweak, you know if the chromoly H beam rods in that set r forged aswell?

[synergyandy]

or this kit from atomic

http://www.atomicspeedware.com/3rzfe...andpauter.aspx

These high-quality ARIAS pistons and PAUTER connecting rod sets combos include:

* Forged pistons
* Standard-duty wristpins (20# boost max.)
* Premium rings
* Pin locks
* 4340 forged rods with ARP2000 bolts

which is $1,356.06 AUD not including shipping

andy mate im getting pistons rods multilayer head gasket and arp head studs and lc is looking the cheapest paradise racings is 1600 US delivered and lc adds up to around 1300 US not including shipping, me and another bloke on here are looking into buying 2 sets of 2JZ head bolts since they are supposed to be the same also should be easier to get over here and will have a set spare. I probably wont be buying straight away as i keep spending money on other things but i need to get onto it soon.
