i have ordered crower rods for my 1NZ FE. has anyone so far had problem with these rods?

Crower is a trusted name in racing. You shouldn't have any problems.

cali yaris · 11-20-2009, 08:48 PM

Yep, those are just fine.

Mmm

I wonder how hard is it to replace the rods? Has anyone written a DIY on this?

The S/C virus seems to be taking a hold of me... I don't know how much longer I can fight it... But the stock rods should probably handle the Blitz S/C just fine, right? After all, that's what it was designed for, I guess...

No one has broken a rod with the supercharger as far as I know.

Thank you for your replies! and one more thing! which forged pistons are good and reliable for the 1nz fe?

CP is the only company that has pistons on the shelf for the 1NZ. All other companies like JE, Wiseco, Ross ect would have to have a custom set made. In either case all 4 companies mentioned are reputable in what they do.

i have heard that u need to notch the block for aftermarket rods is this true?

cali yaris · 12-02-2009, 02:32 PM

We used Pauter rods on my build and we did have to notch the block.

i use crowers in my 630whp 240SX, never had any problems... they might be a bit over kill for lower power builds.. eagle rods are not too bad for the price... Pauter rods are crazy strong but they are tanks.
