Any one know if there is any difference between the Evo 4/5 or 6 conrod? ie is the 6 rod stronger than the 4?

Hi there Moby

5 and 6 rods are the same, not sure about the 4. Pistons are slightly different between the models.

What are you trying to do? Replace your rods with 6 rods?

EVO 4's are the weakest of the bunch (design flaw) the neck is too skinny. 5&6 are about the same..the 7&8 have best design are made with slightly better grade of material.

I was going for the ND forged pistons and just wondered if the evo 6 rods would be an upgrade or not.

No, they wouldnt be an upgrade, or maybe a 1% upgrade.

For well priced rods, check for Oliver rods with Xtreme. £560.

Claudius is right, if you gonna take the time and effort to change internals...buy a respected brand. It will save alot of headaches later. Changing stock internals for still stock internals is a not a good idea nor is it worth the time or money for min. performance benefits
