thanks ifat=rted2...what pistons do you recommend?

 

Ive been running the Arias pistons. Ive heard good about JE,wiseco also

 

Let's just say that if one experiences failure of a part from either of these producers, it's rarely the fault of the part.

 

very well put together statement...

i think i am settling with the JE pistons and Crower rods

 

Crower/Wiseco combo here. They've been proven to hold up in many high HP cars as well as daily drivers.

 

Was Eagle/Wiseco now Crower/Wiseco with an Eagle crank.

I am swapping out Clevite bearings for Calico Coated ones.

Bearings and Crank should be addressed too, maybe rod bolts See what goes and what doesnt?

Conbined with Manley Ibeam Turbo Tuff rods and you have a 1200hp capable setup.

 

If you're going to be pretty much replacing the entire rotating assy. Do a 2.3L. I promise you will thank me later.

 

I would buy a set for Cosworth pistons/rings/rods... of course they are like 2500 dollars so most of them wouldn't do it...

If i wanted to stay on a "normal" price range i would either do a numerous times proven set from either Buschur or AMS (oliver rods...)

 

Buschur doesn't use oliver rods.

AMS reccomends Oliver Rods and Ross pistons in everything but a budget build(eagles) or an all out drag car which they reccomend the Groden's.

i am going to run wiseco/eagle so i will let you know how it goes

 

It will be fine, i ran them with no issues till i ran low on oil

Good for 500 whp no problems.

what rev limit can those approximately handle...?? i know this also depends on other factors as well...but just an approximate figure

 

Rod's are not held to rev limits, valve springs are/ rotating assemblies are.

i thought pistons and rod BOLTS were? no?

i already have valve springs and retainers procured.
