forged internal brands

[ashep91]

i am looking to forge my bottom end i was wondering is there a massive difference in brands from wiesco pec pauter rods and woozier pistons i see the latter are more expensive any reason as to performance or just a brand price increase?

[ashep91]

?

They differ in design and the material content which can effect weight, expansion and strength.

However for most application the capabilities of any will be fine, it's only when really pushing the envelope careful consideration needs to be given.

Am looking for about 230 but only forging due to pushing boost up

Save your money, not needed for that power.

Cheers Adam Where's best place to get rods and pistons from now as import tax is ridiculous

[AdamB]

As I said, save your money, it's really not worth it pal.

Best place is probably still SpeedVision tbh, or try giving Tim @ TB Developments a call, he can get good parts at good prices.

Cool cheers Adam am thinking of running about 1.2 bar boost will stock bottom end hold that

[AdamB]

What turbo?

1.2 bar on a CT9 is very different to 1.2 bar on a GT30 lol.

[ashep91]

Sorry 1.2 bar on tdo4

Will be hit and miss really, some engines even fail at 1 bar.

If you lower the compression you got better chance of keeping the engine alive.
