Spool Imports Conrods

[slowhoon]

I'm considering the Spool Imports conrods for my 170 after I had a rod bolt (ARP) break a couple of months ago.

Research tells me that 200 conrods are the same as those found in the 170, so I'm wondering if anyone has had any actual experience with Spool conrods (good or bad) before I go ahead with the purchase. At the very least they have 3/8th bolts as opposed to the standard 5/16th items.

Cheers, Alan.

I believe the conrods you listed are for the Australia 200 Crossflow engine. Those conrods are 6.27" in length, as the US 200 rods are 4.715" in length.
Contact Spool Imports to make sure what engine these conrods fit.

Correct, often used with the 250 crank and custom pistons to give improved rod ratio.

Thanks for the quick repliesI did ask the following question:

Which version of the 200 are these for? That is, pre-crossflow or one of the crossflow developments.

And they answered:

These are pre-xflow but we recommend them for 250 Xflow as well with our pistons that are designed to work with them

But I clearly didn't ask a good enough question! I'll get onto that (I'm in NZ by the way).

It would be nice if they would put up the rod Lenths, that would take out some guessing.

If you need US spec. I added Toyota 1jz Conrods with custom pistons to my build. I had to offset grind the crank a bit.
Spool imports sells them too 1jz Rods.

Got these rods I was going to use for a 200. I’m sure you guys know the work to put these on. I bought them for like 700 dollars cause of tax and shipping. Putting these up for 500 plus whatever the shipping will be. Thank you.

I kept forgetting to list these here; you guys are way more technical and more willing to put work on your motors.
