well i'm rebuilding .... i'm thinking eagle rods, arp bolts and head studs... cometic head gasket and CP or SRP forged pistons.... has anyone heard anything good or bad about Ross pistons.... i'm trying to decide what to run with and would like some input....

this is what a torn wastegate line will do to your stock pistons

 

broken ring lands are never good, those stock pistons?

 

I'd recommend OEM gasket from the dealer and the eagle/vitara deal on ebay. Can't lose with honda parts and that setup shouldwithstand pressureup until you crack a sleeve, with a good tune. Plus the guy who sells them uses arp rod bolts, king bearings, and npr rings.

Nothin wrong with Ross pistons, but CP has tons of positive rep from ppl who are runnin em. Dont worry so much about how much PSI your runnin, worry about horse power. Your parts list looks pretty good if your aimin at mid 300hp levels. Anything over that your gunna wanna add sleeves to the list, that is if you want the engine to last a while.

 

yeah they were stock......

i alreay have my cometic head gasket and ARP head studs.....

i'm shooting for 300 wheel.... if anyone has any suggestions feel free nows the time to do it right

 

Id add Type R oil and water pumps to you parts list too. Have you though about a main girdle? You dont need one, but itll only make the bottom end stronger.

 

ok i'm gettinng ready to order my slugs.... iv'e decided on JE pistons and eagle rods ..... i'm kind or unsure on what CR to run .... i dont know if i want 9.0:1 or 8.5:1..... i'm more concernerd with what my static compression is gonna be..... any input???
i also did ACL rod and main bearings....

 

Personaly, Id go with 9.0:1 set. Itll give you a lil more power out of boost, which will make stop and go driving a lil more tolerable. Itll also make it a bit easier to get to your power goal. One more thing to consider is that with more compression the engine will take in more air, which will exhale more air, which will spool a turbo faster.

 

i have everything but my pistons.... i orederd em last week and they should be here tuesday or wednsday...

i also went 20 over cause i had some taper in the cylinders...... i'm getting ancy..... i want boost

it looks a little empty under here

 

Sorry if I missed it but what motor is this and what chassis is it in? Btw a "type R" oil and water pump is the same part as a B16, GSR and I think even an LS oil and water pump.
