starlet786 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 right guys..soory if i have posted in the wrong section basically i have just put a deposit down on my new car(s14 silvia) and the guy is now telling me that the engine might be forged..he has no proof but is there a way of checking if its forged????....the only reason he thinks its forged is because wen he got it rolling roaded the tuneing guy said it may be forged because of the power it has made...sorry if i make no sense lol Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 whip the sump off when you get it and all will become clear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukEp Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I beleve forged engines are noisy from cold and go quiet when warmed up. But this might just mean it's noisy untill warmed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russleh Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 have a look about the net for standard and forged pistons n rods n you should be able to see any differences man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 also unless the rolling road guy ment it was so powerful that standard internals couldnt cope , making an engine forged doesnt make it more powerful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheStarletGT Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 if its knocking on cold startup, that will tell you its got forged pistons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 A little knowlage is a dangerous thing! They dont nock, its called piston slap and yes they sound more like a desil on cold startup and are slightly noiser than a standard engine when warm but could just be a noisey engine lol, forged roads are thicker than thier standard equivalant, so have a look on the net for pics of oem s14 rods then whip the sump off and check, forged components can handle more power but wont themselves produce more, except bigger boar forged pistons as you are increasing the cc of the engine and more cc's more power.
