EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 as above, was curious if it was possible or do they not connect the same as the stock pistons? never heard anything about it really so was just curious... Quote
AdamB Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Has been done, but kinda pointless, if you've got to strip the engine to put the pistons in, spend an extra £350 on some Scat rods and be bullet proof for a very long time at whatever boost. Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 say i wanted to just stick new rods and pistons in, would it just be as easy as that? apart from balancing the rods of course but anything else? Quote
AdamB Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Well that depends. If you want a blue printed engine thats going to last your going to have to measure the crank journal diameters, measure crank run out, measure rod journal diameters, measure little end diameters, measure piston diameters, measure bore diameters and have them bored to suit each cylinder, the list goes on and on. Or you can chuck them in and hope for the best Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 having a look at wossner pistons, says they use a floating gudgeon pin that can only be used with the PEC or wossner rods, so how have the standard rods been used before? Quote
Danb Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 having a look at wossner pistons, says they use a floating gudgeon pin that can only be used with the PEC or wossner rods, so how have the standard rods been used before? iirc they were on wiseco pistons Quote
AdamB Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Believe Wiseco pistons are used. Am sure thats waht the guys over in Jamaica did. Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 whats the difference? cant you make the oem pins fit? found some wossners for £400 brand new and thought itd be a shame not to buy them Quote
Danb Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 whats the difference? cant you make the oem pins fit? found some wossners for £400 brand new and thought itd be a shame not to buy them different pistons.... Quote
AdamB Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Buy them and just by some forged rods as well. Go the whole hog. Edited July 12, 2013 by AdamB Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Im not quite in the position to go the whole way, not yet anyway :/ Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 just reading that JE pistons go with the standard rods, theyre £550 which isnt too sad i dont think!! Quote
Asad Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) ross pistons also fit standard rods, perfectly fine way to go....the zisco guys have ran silly boost this way with a conservative rev limit....there is a 4paw that runs ross pistons and standard rods although i dont know how the engine is now as he doesnt come on much you will always get people saying run forged rods etc etc....the way i see it is for a daily...250bhp is enough for a starlet anything more is silly and just a figure to throw around...its a perfect way to go without breaking the bank for a solid dependable engine....ukso probably has the most forged 4e engines yet they are all still sub 300 and all would still be just as reliable with half the budget...look at what they achieve abroad....puts the forged engines to shame Edited July 13, 2013 by Asad Quote
Mo3 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 hey mate on ym build i have wiesco pistons 74.5mm on GT rods that have been shot peened depends on the setup you want to go rods only bend or snap on high revs GT rods are strong fkers Quote
