Rocket Industries in Sydney have 4G93T rods for sale:

Argo also make and sell their own - they are considered to be one of the better brands

I wouldnt doubt if the 4G93T rods that Rocket sells are actually the ARGO ones. Ive built 4G93T engines before and man for a turbo those stock rods in them are only pinky finger thick!! (wouldnt doubt if they were the same as the NA SOHC 4G93 :lol: )

Another alternative which I know have been used before are the Ford TX3 BP Turbo rods (straight swap I believe) or the Honda b16a rods (Honda ones require a little bit of work but are more widely available and cheap but you will have to find a piston to suit).

If it were me I'd go the Argos. If you decide to go any others make sure you get the right piston to suit and bare in mind the bearing size - go the biggest one out the lot :wink: .

There's pistons on EBay as well:

You can see why people just ditch their 4G93T's and upgrade to the EVO or VR4 4G63T engines which can make a hell of a lot of power with stock internals :wink:

I think you mean "Eagle I's" as in I-beam rods :lol: Yes, Eagle are good rods as well and excellent value for money - didnt know they made any for the 4G93T though
