Are the rod bolts from the B6 motor the same as the B6T rod bolts?
Im trying to track down some new rod bolts, but nothing comes up in the ARP Brand range for straight fit.
Any help is much appriacated.
Cheers

The rods used in the 88-89 323GTX
turbo are beefier. They have a thicker beam, thicker small end and
larger size bolts. They weight approx 580 grams (w/bolts and nuts) vs the approx 540 grams of the Miata rod. The GTX rods are no longer available new from Mazda and the Miata pieces supercede it.
